EmpowHER - Event for women in IT

Join us for an inspiring and action-driven afternoon dedicated to women in IT. This event brings together leadership, career growth, and hands-on innovation: all in one energizing program.

We kick off with an exclusive keynote on women’s leadership, exploring the realities, challenges, and opportunities for women building impactful careers in tech. Expect honest insights, empowering stories, and practical guidance on navigating leadership, making bold career moves, and shaping the future of diversity in tech.

After the keynote, we shift from inspiration to action with an accessible AI Hackathon designed for all skill levels. Whether you’re a developer, data enthusiast, consultant, designer, or tech leader, you’ll collaborate in teams to solve a real-world challenge using AI. No heavy technical background needed, just curiosity, creativity, and the drive to learn. A prize awaits the winning team!

We end the day with a relaxed networking drink, giving you the chance to meet like-minded women, expand your professional circle, and strengthen your presence within the IT community.
