If you find yourself w an all-male conference lineup, ask for help. Something is wrong & it won't be a quick fix but the community can help.

So I’m sorry, “we tried” just doesn’t cut the mustard. You didn’t try hard enough and you didn’t see it as a failure criterion.

Or, maybe even more importantly, you didn’t have diversity as a core tenet and didn’t see diversity as a core success criterion.

Saying “it’s hard to find a diverse speakers” is shifting the blame entirely. It’s blaming the people who won’t speak at your event.

You should be asking what it is about the *culture* of your community/event that makes it hard to attract a diverse lineup and fix that.
