TwitterFollowing the success of the annual Women in Tech Conference, this event aims to foster connections and share insights in a relaxed atmosphere. Join us in collaboration with Allstate and hear from inspiring speakers about their career journeys in the industry and connect with other Women in Tech.
At this event, we explore: What Does an AI‑Ready Leader Look Like? We will aim to reset how leaders think about their role when AI is part of everyday work -shifting from “understanding the tech” to how they lead, support and protect their people.
