So many amazing diverse speakers possible for infosec events. OURSA Conference showed it is possible. Parisa Tabriz Ashley Tolbert Melanie Ensign Amie Stepanovich Katie🌻Moussouris (she/her/she-ra/she-hulk) 🪷 Eva Michelle Lee (@mosh.bsky.social) are some of the amazing women that come to mind. Many more too!

After day 1, it's clear Enigma Conference has put a *lot* of effort towards creating diverse panels. Mad props to the organizers, and here's to hoping other conferences take a page out of your book. #enigma2019

We do better at protecting people and treating them with respect when we have more diverse voices. Not-coincidentally, the conferences doing well at this also have the most interesting content. We put together OURSA Conference for both. In a long weekend. oursa.org

“They’ve proved it’s not a pipeline issue” - Lea Kissner sfchronicle.com/business/artic…

RSA proved that the lack of gender diversity in their lineup isn't a pipeline issue... by improving their lineup. Next up, let's see other kinds of diversity in there and every other conference. We're still missing out on amazing voices.

An update on RSAConference, one year after our alternative pop-up OURSA Conference: theregister.co.uk/AMP/2019/03/01… cc: @iainthomson.bsky.social Tl;dr: Some progress noted, plenty of room to improve.

About a year and a half ago a certain popular security conference was called out for having little to no diversity among their 20 keynote speakers. A watershed moment for them and our industry. And it’s affected me. 1/11

Did you enjoy OURSA Conference IRL or livestream? Want to see more events like this near you? Awesome — go plan it! Be the change! DM if you want help w/ speakers — but please don’t wait for another edition of OURSA. You can do this! 🙌🏻

More than 2,300 people tuned it live yesterday + those who attended viewing parties in DC, Boston, SF & Seattle! We hope #OURSA is just the beginning & look forward to seeing more events from the community that look/feel like this one. x.com/oursaconferenc…

OURSA did a great job advocating for more diversity in security while also making it very clear that the industry is already way more heterogeneous than some acknowledge wired.com/story/oursa-se…
