Why was the jump in women attendance so much higher between 2013-2014 than 2014-2015?
2014 is the first time Women Techmakers actively started targeted women and giving them the opportunity to purchase a ticket outside of the lottery system.
Just a reminder to think twice when reading "diversity", to be aware if _legally mandated_ diversity is being discussed or the human concept. Gender is but one dimension. Modern corporate responsibility is important, but the overall issue I believe is vital to keep in mind if the goal is a truly diverse population.

Diversity at the least encompasses race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, and other ideologies.
