Join 100% Talent for our second Wage Gap Summit event, addressing the gender wage gap and gender equity in the workplace.

Our keynote speaker is Jonathan Sposato, Co-founder of GeekWire, PicMonkey and WeCount.org and author of “Better Together: 8 Ways Working with Women Leads to Extraordinary Products and Profits”. In 2015, Sposato was the first male investor who vowed to only fund startups with at least one female co-founder. Each attendee will receive a copy of Sposato’s book to take home! Deena Pierott, with iUrban Teen and City of Seattle will be interviewing Sposato live onstage following his address.
