Here's an excerpt:
Earlier this year, RSA Conference organizers named only one woman out of 20 for its initial lineup of headline speakers at the massive cybersecurity conference. The result: a wave of complaints and a rogue conference, entitled OurSA, that featured women and minority speakers.
RSA Conference isn't making the same mistake next year. Conference organizers on Tuesday said they're banning all-male panels and urging their sponsors to send keynote speakers from diverse backgrounds. They're also adding new programs designed to make all attendees feel welcome and safe, like on-site child care and a safe walk program to escort attendees to nearby hotels and transit.
LMC is a unit of the Ivan Allen College.
