Decrypting Diversity Summit

A summit with the goal of promoting diversity, inclusion, and gender equality within the cryptography community. We aim to strengthen community connections and facilitate scientific collaborations by providing a dedicated space for the cryptography community to develop actionable strategies and long-term plans for fostering a more inclusive and diverse environment.

The summit happens from the 17th to the 20th June 2025 in Montpellier, France.

Our event is hybrid! We welcome participation beyond regional boundaries. It is specifically designed to engage individuals from underrepresented communities, including those from historically marginalized regions. Hence, a central focus of the summit is intersectionality, recognizing that discrimination often arises at the intersection of multiple factors such as race, gender, geography, and socioeconomic status, and addressing the fact that security is not one-size-fits-all: different groups encounter distinct challenges based on their unique circumstances, environments, and vulnerabilities.

DDS is an idea from the "Women in Cryptography" (WINC) community, but extends beyond it.
