This year's Summit focuses on three tenets central to the Center: Empowering, Engaging, and Educating women on how they can use technology to advance their careers.
One way you can Engage is by networking with other participants of The Summit. We may be virtual this year, but that doesn't mean that you still can't meet and greet with other attendees and our sponsors!
We're happy to offer these networking opportunities at the 2021 Statewide Summit on Women & Tech: Empower. Engage. Educate.
Students: Are you interested in an internship or job in the tech field or just curious about what kinds of technology-related jobs employers are looking for? Then, the following Sponsors want to chat with you! Stop by their Zoom Room to chat with employees of these companies.
