Cohere Pride Camp
Navigating Tech through a Queer Lens
Cohere HQ, Toronto | Thursday, June 29, 2023 | 3:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDT
It's time to celebrate the intersection of tech, generative models, and queerness!
With a theme centered around "Navigating tech through a queer lens," the event promises to be inclusive, informative, and, most importantly, a safe space for everyone. While navigating the tech industry as a queer individual can be challenging, we're committed to creating an environment where everyone can feel supported and welcomed.
