Join us for an exclusive Tech Leader Inspire Session. This event is designed to empower and connect individuals from underrepresented communities working in tech or aspiring to break into the industry.
Our special guest is a renowned tech leader whose career spans over three decades, including senior roles at major organisations and a proven track record in driving innovation and business transformation. This is a rare opportunity to hear first-hand about the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned from a true industry trailblazer.
You’ll also hear from a member of our community who transitioned into tech, they will share their personal journey, the obstacles they faced, and the practical steps that helped them make the leap and they will offer relatable insights for anyone considering a similar path.
What to expect:
- An inspiring keynote sharing real-world insights on leadership, resilience, and navigating the tech landscape as a minority professional
- A candid Q&A session where you can ask your burning questions
- A first-hand account from someone who recently transitioned into tech
- Networking with like-minded professionals
Whether you're already working in tech or looking to make your next move, this event will leave you motivated and equipped with practical advice for your journey.
