There are many complex dimensions to diversity. How many speakers are from Latin America, Middle-East, Asia or Africa ?

We’re not sure we’ll have time to explore all these questions ourselves, but we invite all willing tech people thttps://gender-guesser.como do just that. Feel free to try our Free Gender API. Please use the #VivaTechGaps to comment or share on Twitter.
And if you enjoy doing this important work, you could win a 100,000$ or a 50,000$ prize in the UN Data2X Big Data for Gender Challenge. Don’t wait, submissions are due by 7th of July!
Welcome to all VivaTech participants ! Enjoy this 2017 edition, more diverse and international than ever before.
