Join us on Wednesday, April 7th for an addition to our Women in Technology series!
How have the stories of women in technology changed amidst a global pandemic?
We’ve reached the one-year mark of life in this “new normal”, and the disparate impact on women (both professionally and personally) has been immense. Spring and promise of brighter days ahead inspired us to create an opportunity to come together outside of our annual Women in Technology (aka, #WIT) event. Hence, we’re thrilled to announce the first “mini” Women in Technology event – WIT Spring 2021: Reflect | Renew | Redefine.
This short and sweet event will be a panel-style discussion session. We’ve invited two dynamic guest speakers from the WIT community to share their reflections about the past year and the ways they’ve reimagined community during the time of social distancing. We hope you will leave this panel discussion feeling empowered and inspired to redefine what “community” means to you.
Featured speakers:
