Session: Lifting as We Climb: Empowering the Next Generation of Women in Tech
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the role of women leaders has never been more crucial. Join me, Laura Burnett, Delivery Director at Made Tech, for an engaging and interactive workshop, "Lifting as We Climb: Empowering the Next Generation of Women in Tech." This workshop will explore the transformative power of female leadership in the tech industry and the importance of allyship and mentorship in supporting and uplifting emerging talent.Through a series of group discussions and real-world examples drawn from my own experiences, we will delve into actionable strategies for creating inclusive environments that foster growth and innovation. Participants will learn how to leverage their positions to advocate for diversity, build strong networks, and create pathways for other women to succeed. Key themes will include the importance of visibility, the impact of sponsorship versus mentorship, and practical steps for breaking down systemic barriers.
This dynamic and empowering workshop not only celebrates the achievements of women in tech but also highlights our collective responsibility to ensure that every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential. By embracing the principle of "lifting as we climb," we can build a more inclusive and equitable tech community for all.
Come ready to engage, share, and learn as we work together to empower the next generation of women in technology.
