“Last year in June, just when the world reached the peak of sadness and lockdowns, we provided a safe space for 141000+ women and minorities to share, learn and unite. For some, it provided hope, for others new job opportunities, and for us a way to continue our mission as we had to cancel more than 100 offline events and networking activities” says Anna Radulovski, Founder and CEO at WomenTech Network, and further continues “This year, more than ever, our focus is on building an inclusive, equitable and sustainable world. This is why open collaboration is a vital part of the conference. It enables everyone participating to act as a catalyst for women to become part of the solution by leading with purpose, humanity, and impact”.
The premier online conference will give participants access to top names in the industry through inspiring live keynotes, engaging panels, technical workshops, a career expo, and virtual face-to-face networking sessions to learn through actionable advice, gain practical experience, expand their network and grow their tech careers. The open space day will enable collaboration between participants to work on building solutions to tackle burning issues for women and minorities in tech.
