JUMP! is a program for diversity and inclusion in technology, with a potential to scale within the next five years, and its regional replication, with the aim of: learning and connecting, promoting diverse talent, sharing knowledge, making organizational diversity visible and influencing in the shift to a diverse culture. Within this program, we work with impact actions such as workshops, talks, conferences, research, and development of indicators. Along these lines, the kickoff took place in July, with the first virtual conference that addressed this issue, on technology with gender inclusion, together with different companies that are promoting the development of diverse cultures, and communities linked to inclusion in technology , at the same time making voices visible and giving space to different women and people from other groups linked to these areas. Thus, we have 14 partner companies and the accompaniment of more than 30 communities. The conference had a great impact, with more than 3000 people registered, and 2690 live attendants through the various digital media where this initiative was broadcast: YouTube, Facebook Live and Periscope. 70% of the people registered were women and trans people, and 60% of each live attendee contemplated these genres, with different technological profiles, such as programmers, graphic designers, engineers, developers, UX designers and STEM career students. At a geographical level, we have the presence of 68% of women from Argentina, 30% from different countries of the Latin American region, and 2% from European cities.

As we discussed earlier, this program has great potential for scale, not only geographically, but also in terms of the diversity of actions and their impact. Currently, JUMP will continue with the following internal initiatives: -Sessions, workshops and virtual talks on diversity and technology during the months of August and September. -New virtual conference linked to technology with inclusion of genres during the month of October. -On-site event in Konex in March of next year, 2021, due to the pandemic situation generated by covid-19 at the moment, which prevents face-to-face instances. On the other hand, although in the first virtual conference we had 30% of people from the Latin American region, this initiative has the objective of replicating its actions in other countries within the next five years.
We affirm that development of ICTs provides enormous opportunities for women, who should be an integral part of, and key actors, in the Information Society. We are committed to ensuring that the Information Society enables women's empowerment and their full participation on the basis on equality in all spheres of society and in all decision-making processes. To this end, we should mainstream a gender equality perspective and use ICTs as a tool to that end.
