Background
Despite efforts to increase diversity and inclusivity, women are still underrepresented in the tech workforce - particularly in leadership roles. Not only does that contribute to homogenous thought at top levels, it limits the role models available to inspire and support the next generation of female leaders.
About the Women in Tech Festival
#WomeninTech2023 #WomenoftheChannel
The Women in Tech Festival 2023 is a celebration of the women shaping the technology industry, from bottom to top. And this year’s Festival also brings you Women of the Channel; the meeting place for women from across the IT channel who are looking to advance organisational diversity, make unmatched connections, and empower and cultivate women leaders.
Hosted by Computing and CRN, we will bring together the brightest minds and most influential women to connect with each other, share their stories and encourage future leaders. Designed for present and future female IT leaders who want to thrive in their professional and personal lives. As well as learning about the tech trends shaping the world, you’ll have opportunities to connect with mentors and access practical advice on how to progress your career. Whether you're a senior executive, a business owner, or an emerging leader, this year’s Festival is an event you won't want to miss.
