WIRED is diving deep into Silicon Valley's persistent gender problem, and we want your questions. As the tech world grapples with shifting political tides and debates around diversity and inclusion, our upcoming subscriber-only livestream on September 24 will tackle the uncomfortable truths about women's roles in tech.
This investigation comes at a time when terms like "DEI" and "woke" have been declared passé by some, coinciding with tech leaders aligning with more conservative stances. Figures like Mark Zuckerberg have spoken about the need for "masculine energy," and Elon Musk's administration saw significant cuts to female employees. This environment has left many women in tech feeling frustrated and has created a confusing landscape, particularly with the rise of AI and the question of who the new "girlbosses" will be.
Our reporting has revealed a general reluctance within the industry to openly discuss gender issues. To cut through the silence, we're hosting a panel featuring experts to address your most pressing questions. This is your chance to get direct answers on the challenges and opportunities facing women in the tech sector.
Submit your questions in the comment section below this article. Our panel will be answering them live during the event, which streams on September 24 at noon ET / 9am PT. Subscribers can watch the live event here, and a replay will be available afterward for those who can't make it.
