This lecture was the second of the Cantor Technology Lecture Series, and outlined the importance of having a diverse workforce, particularly in technology roles to the British Industry.

The lecture was delivered by Gillian Arnold. Gillian has over 30 years’ experience in the IT industry, the last 20 years being with IBM. She was the winner of the 'Inspiration of the Year' category of the 2012 Cisco Everywomen in Technology Awards.

Gillian Arnold explored some of the reasons why women only make up approximately 17% of technology roles, and what British companies need to do to effect change and capitalise on the benefits that diversity can bring.
