Diversity and Inclusion

Our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion at Umbraco U.S. Summit 2023

 

We strive to create a diverse environment in and around Umbraco. We believe that diverse groups are better able to generate ideas/solutions as they bring different perspectives to the table, and help us flourish as a company and as humans.

Furthermore, we believe in actively supporting people to thrive, develop and expand their talent, and that everyone should be invited to participate in their own right to get equal opportunities. 

At Umbraco, we will ensure that we are diverse and inclusive in all our activities including developer community activities, marketing, communication, and events.

All of the above is - by extension - applicable to Umbraco U.S. Summit 2023.

For the Umbraco U.S. Summit 2023, we are actively seeking to increase the diversity and accessibility of the event and to provide a safe, inclusive, and fun atmosphere for all who attend. Just as we expect and require U.S. Summit attendees to act in accordance with the Umbraco Code of Conduct, we pledge to create an event that represents these values. 

We recognize that there is a harsh under-representation of certain groups within technology - particularly at tech conferences. Therefore, we will take action to improve the diversity, inclusivity, and accessibility of the U.S. Summit events and create opportunities for these under-represented groups. 

We will:

  • Feature a diverse speaker lineup from different backgrounds, genders, and geographic locations. We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds, abilities, and experiences to submit their proposals.

  • Ask about attendees needs, to open the line of communication and understand the areas that need extra attention.

  • Make accommodations for attendees with disabilities, where relevant and possible.

  • Reinforce and reiterate the Umbraco Code of Conduct during the event, to remind attendees of the behaviour we expect at all of our events, including the Umbraco U.S. Summit.

If you have any concerns or suggestions on how we can make the Umbraco U.S. Summit 2023 as accessible and inclusive as possible, please reach out to Events Manager Steffie Limère Fugl at slf@umbraco.dk.
