San Francisco — Women are grossly underrepresented in the blockchain industry, yet the ones who are in the space are some of the top innovators. On May 6, The Oasis Foundation will host the mentorship event “Female Blockchain Leaders” at 12:00 pm EST. The two-part panel series will be moderated by Kristina Lucrezia Cornèr, managing editor at Cointelegraph, and will be virtually joined by nine female leaders driving change, breaking barriers and blazing successful career paths in the blockchain space. 

“From our inception, Oasis Foundation has been on the forefront of advocating for women in technology and blockchain,” said Anne Fauvre-Willis, chief operating officer of Oasis Labs. “Oasis not only challenges traditional ways of thinking within our technological approach and blockchain solutions, but we also challenge the status quo for how women fit into the blockchain industry. We believe immensely in the power of equality and the incredible innovation women bring to this industry, and that’s why we’re creating a space to foster future talent at our upcoming event.” 

Conference attendees will be able to connect with and hear from successful professionals, aspiring women and students in blockchain to discuss how they got involved in this “unusual” industry and provide tips and advice to younger women who want to learn more or get involved. Joined by founders, C-suite executives, advisors and product leads from Coinfund.io, Stellar, The Maker Foundation, American on Tech, Chainlink, UNICEF, World Economic Forum, CryptoKitties and more, Oasis Foundation reveals panels headlining its virtual mentorship event: “Female Blockchain Leaders.”
