August 3rd and 4th Indianapolis hosted its first annual tech diversity summit entitled Disrupt Indy at the NCAA Hall of Champions. Be Nimble, RCR Technology, Salesforce, Sprout Social, and Sticks N Leaves were just a few of the companies that helped in sponsoring this great event. Disrupt Indy is a meeting of leading innovators, educators, venture capitalists, and techies to attack the diversity problem and create solutions that would help increase the inclusion of more woman, minorities, and members of the LGBTQ community. There were a host of fantastic speakers including our very own, Robert Reed, who told their stories of inspiration and truth about why they chose this field or what it means to be your own boss. Overall, the event was beneficial to the city and all the participants that were able to sit, listen, and learn about how we can include all in the tech field.
