Women in Technology (WIT) Events

Upcoming Spring Event:
The Ally Effect: The Impact of Men Advocating for Women in Tech

When: Wednesday, April 9th from 11:45 AM - 1 PM EST

Where: Virtual via Microsoft Teams (you will receive a link upon registration)

About: Join us for an insightful and impactful discussion as we explore allyship and advocacy through the lens of male leaders in the tech industry.

One of the key themes from our Fall 2024 session, Celebrating Generations of Women in Tech, was the valuable role men play in advocacy and support. This virtual event will build on that conversation, highlighting how men can actively support and empower women in technology, break down barriers, and foster an environment of inclusivity and collaboration.

Our panelists will share their experiences, discuss moments when speaking up made a difference, and provide actionable insights on championing women in the workplace. Whether you're looking to amplify your voice or become a stronger ally, this event is for you.

About WIT

WIT began in 2013 as a collaborative effort between Market Street Talent, Dr. Loretta Brady of St. Anselm College, and the NH Diversity Workforce Coalition. Recognizing the gender gap in the tech industry, the initiative was created to amplify women's voices and increase opportunities for growth and retention in the field.

Today, WIT is a biannual event designed to foster meaningful discussions and connections within the industry. In 2025, we celebrate 14 consecutive years of bringing together women in technology and their allies! We host virtual events in the spring and hybrid gatherings in the fall, offering an accessible space for professional networking, knowledge-sharing, and community building.

Our mission is to support and empower women in technology by providing free, engaging events where industry professionals can connect, share experiences, and navigate the unique challenges of the field. Through open conversations and collaborative learning, we aim to cultivate a stronger, more inclusive tech community.
