Intentional consideration of gender equity by the Program Committee was associated with equitable gender representation of invited speakers at IDWeek after 2016. Gradually, proportions of speakers from racial/ethnic groups underrepresented in IDSA approached the membership proportions. White speakers remained overrepresented relative to membership proportions until 2021, and gaps in Program Committee racial/ethnic demographic representation highlights opportunities for continued Inclusion, Diversity, Access, and Equity at IDWeek.
