This year’s MongoDB World diversity initiatives aimed to create more visibility and opportunity for underrepresented voices in tech. The company introduced two new programs: the Scholarship program, which provided support to marginalized groups, including women, Black, Latinx, LGBTQ+, low-income, and people with disabilities; and the Innovators program, which invited leading women in the industry to participate alongside Scholarship recipients in various sessions. The initiatives aimed to increase diversity in technology by addressing both gender and ethnic/racial divides. By providing a platform for underrepresented voices and encouraging networking and collaboration, MongoDB World sought to create a more inclusive community, with events such as the Women and Trans Coders Lounge serving as a hub for connection and creative energy. As MongoDB continues to develop its programs, it emphasizes the importance of integrating diverse voices into broader company initiatives to drive meaningful change in the industry.
