Why You Should Join

This is NOT your standard panel discussion where you sit and listen. This event is designed for action. If you're looking for real, tangible steps to advance your career, secure the salary you deserve, and build the right relationships for success, this is the event for you.

Get personalized advice—after a short panel, we’ll break into smaller groups to deep-dive into the challenges you face.
Expand your network—connect with women facing similar challenges and build a community that supports each other’s growth.
Walk away with an action plan—not just inspiration but real strategies to implement in your career.

Event Flow

1️⃣ Panel Discussion

A candid conversation from leading experts and new graduates on how to achieve your career goals and gain the recognition you deserve as a woman in tech.

2️⃣ In-Depth Table Discussions

We’ll break into smaller groups, each led by a panel member, to tackle the top three challenges women face in tech:
🔹 How to secure the salary increase you deserve
🔹 How to advance to your next career level
🔹 How to build a productive relationship with your manager

This is where the magic happens—share experiences, ask questions, and walk away with real, actionable insights tailored to your challenges.

💡 Bring your business cards! Networking is a key part of this event. We want to foster ongoing support systems beyond this session.
