Gender/Race breakdown

As best as possible I've broken down the speakers by gender & whether or not they are white. For gender, i went by pronouns in the bios whenever possible, and by photos; for race I'm just noting whether their profile pick seems to be of a person of color. I know this is not great methodology but it's all I've got access to, before doing more research. Therefore, I do not expect that this breakdown is 100% accurate.
Invited Speakers


2/24 are women (~8%) (1 K, 0 L, 0 H, 0 DN, 0 E, 1 I)
11/24 are people of color and/or Hispanic (~47%)
3/24 are Black (~13%)
1/24 are women of color (~4%)
0/24 are Black women (0%)

All Speakers


7/72 are women (~10%) (1 K, 0 L, 0 H, 2 DN, 2 E, 2 I)
19/72 are people of color and/or Hispanic (~26%)
7/72 are Black (~10%)
1/72 are women of color (~3%)
0/72 are Black women (0%)

Other Notes


Women are concentrated in the less-prestigious sessions. One woman is keynoting (of six keynote speakers), and there are zero women giving either Leap or Hop Workshops.
I counted "people of color and/or Hispanic" because some Hispanics are white, but it's not something that's reasonable to make a guess about.
The total number (72) is the number of discrete speakers - some presentations have two speakers, and some speakers have multiple sessions.
