Session
The global tech ecosystem continues to grow, yet challenges like limited mentorship, a lack of role models, and fragmented community support hinder progress, especially for underrepresented groups. PyLadies offers a powerful model for bridging these gaps. This talk explores how PyLadies chapters worldwide foster technical growth, increase mentorship opportunities, and drive collaboration to create a more inclusive and sustainable global tech community.
