The first Women in IT Virtual Summit will ensure that the work that has been put in previously to promote diversity and inclusion within the workplace is not halted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

  • Taken stock and assessed the impacts of Covid-19 on the tech industry.
  • Redesigned their workplaces, policies, and hiring practices.
  • Developed technological solutions in response to global challenges.
  • Continued to help their teams develop and find their voice during the shift from physical, to digital.
