Summary

CodeConf, a conference that values diverse perspectives and experiences, has partnered with six organizations to provide tickets to members of underrepresented groups in the tech industry. These organizations include Black Girls CODE, Coding While Black, Girl Geek Dinner Nashville, Lesbians Who Tech, Rails Girls Atlanta, and Trans*H4CK, each dedicated to empowering their respective communities through education, networking, and professional development. The initiative aims to build a diverse audience for the conference by distributing tickets through various methods such as contests, raffles, and community engagement. By collaborating with these organizations, CodeConf hopes to create an inclusive and enriching experience for all attendees and offers the option for individuals to support this cause by purchasing "scholarship" tickets on the registration page.
