Accelerating Your Career in Tech
Event Information
About this Event
Women face a unique set of challenges when accelerating their career and progressing into leadership. Despite compelling evidence that more diversity in the boardroom improves organisational performance, just five percent of women hold senior leadership positions in the UK tech sector according to PwC.
Women's careers continue to be impacted by:
- unconscious bias
- lack of female role models
- lack of mentors, sponsors and support networks to help overcome the unique challenges faced by women.
If you're looking to accelerate your career or progress into a leadership role either now or in the future, then this event is for you.
You will hear thought-provoking insights and practical tips from senior female tech executives who have broken through the glass ceiling.
Hear their war stories, lessons learned and practical tips on how you can address the specific challenges faced by women in tech.
