<h2>How to get a diverse staff</h2>Whether you look into sales, R&D or at the technical universities you will not see a lot of women represented. Is it due to a lack of interest from the women or what is the issue here. Fact is that many rental companies, manufactures etc are searching for a more diverse staff, but have a hard time finding applicants. We will discuss what causes the lack of more women in tech roles, and how we can remedy this deficit as well as what more diversity means for the businessGuest:Linnea Ljungmark - Business Development at AyrtonMarcus Lundahl - Managing Director for SoundwareLennart Ågren - Programme Director for Education for Theatre - Event &amp; StageTechnicians @ HVEAbout the seminarWILM would like to discuss with other actors from industry what we can do to increase diversity over the whole line from manufacturers to end users. And we will also like to debate what more diversity is good for.We are foremost looking at finding the reasons for the lack of diversity in our industry. But WILM also like simultaneous to communicate some of the obstacles like for instance women are facing in the industry.Hopefully we will be able to come up with some solution how we can achieve more diversity in the live event industry as well as make it sustainable.We are hoping very much to meet some of our business partners, as well as new friends and associates.
