My suggestion to enhance diversity among conference presenters: each top presenter could bring a “plus one” from an underrepresented group to co-present. Alternatively, they could opt to forfeit their spot and locate someone in their professional network who can represent both a minority group and, if possible, deliver the original presentation.

The center wheel is gender, the middle wheel is race, and the third wheel is underrepresented jobs in tech. That way I can have a plus-one that is a gender fluid, Berber, truck driver.
