#CourageToCreate
@WomenTechmakers
International Women’s Day (IWD) occurs on March 8th every year. It marks a moment to celebrate and provide visibility for the incredible contributions of women around the world and is a call to action for accelerating gender parity.
This year, we’re inviting our community to connect remotely and share the incredible strength and power shown in the face of adversity. We recognize that there were tremendous challenges over the past year, from dealing with the pandemic to broader issues of racial justice and human rights. But we remain hopeful about the future and the belief that together our community can create positive change throughout the world.
Let’s ALL (Men, Women, Non-Binary) join together and embrace our #CourageToCreate that enables us to overcome challenges. EMPOWER EACH OTHER!
Empower Women - Empower All

Women Leaders in Tech - Panel Session
Being the leader through collaboration, compassion and communication ….
Today, women at work have the opportunity to lead in a new way. This panel will celebrate the strengths we innately bring to work—collaboration, compassion, and communication— as the traits most needed in leadership. How can we harness what comes naturally to us so that we can lead with our whole selves? How can we nurture those we lead as we support the next generation of leaders?
