**What if I'm a male ally?**
Male allies play a critical role in our campaign to create a more diverse technical industry, and we are happy to have you as part of our team! You are welcome to volunteer during the event, lead a talk, or help us organize. While we value having male voices in the discussion, we would like to create a unique space where attendees who are directly confronted with the issues are the focus. We hope you will join us in leading!
