Join us for guided networking, a keynote address by Kendra Brim of Tesla, our 'See Yourself in Tech' panel discussion, and a grand finale that will leave you energized with actionable next steps. This event is designed for students and professionals with an interest in the tech and innovation space. Whether you’re new to tech, an experienced engineer/developer/designer/technologist/scientist, in a tech adjacent role, or a passionate Buffalonian with an interest in getting connected to WNY’s tech scene, you won’t want to miss this!
Technology is a broad term and these days, “tech jobs” exist in every department and industry. However, the ratio of women to men in tech is astonishingly low compared to the overall workforce. Gain advice from WNY women who are transforming tech. Hear from talented technology leaders who will talk through the definition of tech, your ability to make an impact through innovation, opportunities to transfer your skills in tech, and tips to know before starting or growing your tech career.
