Annie shares her data about the speaker balance at conferences in 2018. Perhaps the key questions are:
1) have things improved on previous years
2) what are the next steps?

Why Does The Ratio Skew?
Women don’t
submit as
often as men.
Men are more
likely to ignore
submission
criteria.
85%
Among experienced speakers
who submit to the
New Speaker track at IIeX,
85% are men.
“I don’t have any expertise.”
“I have nothing important to say.”
“I wouldn’t be any good.”
“No one ever asked me to.”
