“Post-pandemic, as we continue to navigate crises around the globe, an important dialogue is taking place on mental health, burnout, and the desire for a renewed sense of purpose in our work,” said Betsy Sutter, Executive Vice President, and Chief People Officer at VMware. “We hope this year’s conference, which is available and free to everyone, provides a community for women to find inspiration and discover excitement again about our work, our technology, and our careers.”

Attendees span from entry level to executive level from the technology industry, academia, and nonprofit organizations. The goal is to continue to cultivate a supportive community for women, people from underrepresented communities and allies in the technology industry.

The first day will focus on career exploration, showcasing speakers and panels whose talks will explore ways to advance career opportunities in tech. Sessions on networking, working from home, the imposter syndrome and career advancement strategies are included.

The second day will focus on topics including ways women can support their career aspirations, as well as those of their peers, how women can contribute to the success of others in their daily interactions and in longer-term policies and practices, and how women can influence the industry as leaders and as individual contributors.
