In touch with tech
As the region’s biggest conference dedicated to gender diversity in tech, this event is a must-attend for women of all levels and skill sets working in technology.
Last year’s inaugural event sold out and its success meant it was no surprise that this year’s one did too, and with more than twice the attendees.
Inspiration, energy, meet like-minded people.
Workshops on building confidence, using the right body language and marketing yourself.
Speakers this year included Melissa Verner Green, head of Melbourne Agency & Government at Facebook, Deloitte partner Flavia D’Alo, Microsoft CTO Vajira Weerasekera, VP at IBM Asia Pacific Rianne van Veldhuizen, and Katharine Barnett, director of employee success (JAPAC) at Oracle. Clinics covered career advice and taster classes for anyone wanting to give coding a go.
Themes covered the future of technology, business strategies, career guidance and personal development, and the rising success of startups down under.
