We had 16 speakers taking to the stage at Dot York 2017, each giving a 10 minute talk and taking part in a panel which (loosely) covered a topic.
Of the 16:
- 10 are Female, 6 are Male
- 6 live or work in Yorkshire
- 4 from elsewhere in the North
- 1 from the midlands
- 4 from the South
- 1 from Scotland
- 7 came through our call for speakers process
We had:
- 7 Directors/Founders/CEO’s/Heads of ‘Things’
- 4 Freelancers
- 7 Speakers working as Designers
- 5 working as Developers
Previously
Over the past 4 Dot York conferences, we’ve welcomed 48 different speakers, covering a (really) wide variety of topics. The stats above just relate to the 2017 event but, that made us curious about how that relates to previous years:
- 53% of talks came from Males, 47% from Females
- 20% were from York and a further 12% from the rest of Yorkshire
- 14% from the rest of the North
- 38% from the rest of England
- 12% from the rest of the UK
- and 1 person from the USA
Of those:
- 17 of the speakers were designers (35%)
- 18 were developers (38%)
- 57% were Freelancers/Small Business Owners
- 24% held senior-level positions
- 20% representated large companies including Google, the BBC, Sky, Raspberry Pi, the Co-op and more
And of course, in that time we’ve had 2 hosts. Jonic in 2014 and Scott for the past three conferences.
Make of that what you will, stats are stats, just thought we’d share :)
