Gergely Orosz has uncovered a tech conference organizer that regularly lists non-existent female speakers on its agenda.
The DevTernity conference occurring on December 7th & 8th lists a female Coinbase engineer and a WhatsApp engineer who are completely made up.
Similar fake profiles have been discovered on the speaker roster for JDKon, a Java conference by the same organization.
This is a new low.
There are too many talented female engineers to pull this crap. 🤬
