LGBT Tech's Chris Wood was invited to Comcast's ProjectUp Summit to share partnership impact between LGBT Tech and Comcast. Partnerships with organizations like Comcast have played a pivotal role in advancing the cause of diversity and inclusion in the tech world. It's these partnerships that allow industry leaders to come together and drive meaningful change. Chris Wood commented, "I was honored to talk about the most recent achievements of LGBT Tech newly launched Digital Navigator Program on the main stage (it was also an honor to speak just before former President Barack Obama). I enjoyed meeting so many great leaders in the space, fellow speakers, and organizers at Comcast. Thank you again for creating such an inspiring event. Time to put these insights into action."
The 2023 Comcast ProjectUp Summit, with Chris Wood's presentation, served as a reminder that progress in tech is not just about technological advancements but also about fostering an environment where everyone has a fair shot at success. Diversity and inclusion are not just ethical choices; they are essential components of a thriving and innovative tech ecosystem. The summit was an inspiring call to action for continued efforts to make the tech industry even more inclusive and representative of all backgrounds and identities.
