Can Chatbots Improve Outcomes for Girls and Women?

Chatbots for Girls and Women
Redwood City - Nov 20th - RSVP Now
The rise of messaging software around the world is impressive in its scope and reach. Billions of people use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat and other systems on a daily basis. Many of these systems support chatbots - automated multimedia interactions with users.

Even more impressive is the surprising lack of a gender gap in messaging system usage: girls and women who have access to mobile technology are heavy users of messaging services.

When we add in advances in natural language processing, there is a whole new chatbot frontier opening up for us to engage girls and help them navigate the journey through adolescence to womanhood, including:
  • Showcasing promising education and employment opportunities
  • Educating them on their sexual and reproductive health options
  • Supporting pregnant women with their prenatal and parenting needs
Please RSVP now for a lively discussion on the use of chatbots in development led by these thought leaders and informed by your input: Please RSVP now to join international development experts and lead technology solution providers to cover questions like:
  • What innovations in message tech can we incorporate into chatbots?
  • How can we use chatbots to reach more girls and women?
  • Where are the successes and failures in using chatbots?
  • What are the risks of using chatbots vs. humans?
  • Who is on the bleeding edge, and what are they learning?
We’ll have coffee and breakfast treats for a morning rush, but seating is limited to ensure an intimate discussion. Be sure to RSVP quickly. Once we reach our 35- person capacity there will be a waiting list!

About the Technology Salon

  • technology's impact on donor-sponsored technical assistance delivery, and
  • private enterprise driven economic development, facilitated by technology.
Our meetings are lively conversations, not boring presentations. Attendance is capped at 35 people - and frank participation with ideas, opinions, and predictions is actively encouraged. 

It's also a great opportunity to meet others motivated to employ technology to solve vexing development problems. Join us today!
