On October 14th and 16th, six cities—Atlanta, Barcelona, San Francisco, Seattle, Buc (Paris area), and Bangalore—came alive with energy, ambition, and community as part of the Women in Tech Job Fair & Career Summit 2025. These in-person career-networking events offered women in tech a powerful space to network, explore new career opportunities, and be inspired by industry leaders shaping the future of technology.
Hosted by some of the most forward-thinking companies in the industry—New Relic, GE HealthCare, Carbon Robotics, and Headspace—each gathering was uniquely designed to reflect its local ecosystem while staying rooted in the WomenTech Network’s global mission of connection and empowerment. Whether attendees were seeking new roles, exploring transitions, or looking to grow in their current careers, they found more than just inspiration—they found real conversations, practical advice, and a community ready to lift them up.
From insightful keynotes to intimate networking moments and hands-on recruiting experiences, these events created opportunities not just to dream, but to act. And in every city, participants left with more than a resume update—they left with a renewed sense of purpose and a broader circle of support.
Women in Tech Bangalore: Hosted by New Relic
The Bangalore event, Elevate & Accelerate, brought together women in tech from across India for an afternoon of meaningful conversation, mentorship, and recruitment hosted by New Relic.
Kylie Penn, Senior Director of Talent Acquisition, opened with insights from her career building global teams at companies like Nike, Slack, and Adidas. Her message was clear: hiring is not just about filling roles—it’s about building cultures that empower.
She was joined by Mahi Jabeen, Director, Technical Support, and Angel Mathew, Senior Director, HR, who shared personal stories of resilience, professional evolution, and leadership. Together, they created a warm and supportive environment where attendees could ask tough questions, explore real challenges, and leave with renewed confidence.
"The atmosphere at the event was truly inspiring, with New Relic showcasing a culture of warmth and inclusivity. The participants expressed they came with the clear purpose of advancing their careers and building connections, and the event gave them a platform to directly experience the company’s culture, connect with its people, and explore career opportunities. The highlight for me was hearing stories from women at New Relic, especially Mahi Jabeen’s journey of being part of the company from its early stages and building her team, a story that resonated with many attendees. Moments like these remind us why community-driven career events make such an impact.", said Yashaswini KS, WomenTech Bangalore Chapter Leader

Local Impact in a Global Landscape
The global tech industry continues to evolve, and so do the challenges professionals face. With global tech layoffs slowing but still affecting over 230,000 professionals in 2024 (sources: TechCrunch, TrueUp.io), and tech job postings down 35% year-over-year (CompTIA), the need for connection and opportunity in tech has never been greater.
Against this backdrop, our recent local event series became critical. Following our global virtual Job Fair & Career Summit, we hosted in-person events in Atlanta, Buc, Barcelona, Seattle, Bangalore, and San Francisco. These gatherings provided not just networking, but tangible career opportunities in a time when connections matter more than ever.
By creating local spaces where women can feel seen, supported, and empowered, WomenTech Network is helping ensure that progress in the industry doesn’t stall—it accelerates, with women leading the way.
