WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

#movethedial Stories


Description

#movethedial Stories is a project dedicated to highlighting and celebrating all women in tech. We believe that we can't hire, promote, or be what we can't see. #movethedial Stories is about sharing the authentic experiences, challenges and triumphs of women in all levels of the tech and innovation ecosystem. We do this in two ways: promote regular online content to highlight these inspiring individuals and their stories, and host community events in different cities where prominent women in tech are invited to speak and share their authentic stories. Through this project, we aim to inspire women of all ages and backgrounds across the world to participate and/or take a leadership role within the world of technology!

Replicability

#movethedial Stories started as one event and is now a scaling global platform of live events and an online digital hub. The vision is that the program will scale all over the world and that our digital hub will contain 1 million stories of incredible women in the new economy. We are on our way towards that goal with events planned for Europe and Asia and new markets in the US in 2019.
