The Finding Ada Conference is a fully online global conference for women in STEM and advocates for gender equality.
We have a variety of talks with live Q&As, interviews and panel discussions scheduled over three days, so whether you are a woman in STEM who wants to develop her career, a business leader or HR exec, an educator or parent, or an advocate or community organiser, we are running sessions for you.
Themes
We have three themes for the day:
- Career development: Career advice; professional skills; personal growth.
- Policy and advocacy: Talent acquisition, retention and promotion; business policy, processes and standards; advocacy strategies.
- Widening participation: Increasing girls’ interest in STEM; increasing diversity; supporting diverse communities.
Tickets
With so many women negatively affected by COVID-19, we decided to make tickets free. We offer honoraria to all our speakers, so please do consider making a donation in support of both our speakers and the wider FindingAda.com project via GoFundMe.

Some of our speakers include:
- Margaret Dawson, vice president of Diversity & Inclusion, Red Hat
- Gillian Hunt, Talent Director, SUSE
- Dr Michelle Dickinson, founder, Nanogirl Labs
- Anuranjita Kumar, founder & CEO, WiT-ACE
Workshops
As part of the Finding Ada Conference this year, we are also running three paid workshops to help you improve your media and communications skills.
- 20 July, 14:00 BST: How to ace your media appearances! with Francesca Kasteliz
- 21 July, 18:00 BST: Improv for better science comms with Belina Raffy
- 22 July, 13:00 BST: How to make social media work harder for you with Laura Oliver
Each session will run for 2 hours, with a maximum of 12 participants so that everyone can get individual attention from the tutors. The cost is £85 per workshop. Open to UK/EU residents only.
Please note that these workshop are running separately to the main FAC21 Conference, so you will need to buy tickets via the Eventbrite links above. We expect tickets to go very quickly, so book now to make sure you’re not disappointed.
