Over 350 women and a few good men attended the 2024 Women in Tech Conference to from leading women in tech, gain valuable insight, celebrate achievements, network, eat, and have fun!
When one woman helps another, amazing things can happen. That's what the Women in Technology conference is all about! The conference brings together women at every level in every technology field to connect, educate, and inspire. From the classroom to the boardroom, women converge for one day to help bridge the gender gap and also recognize, honor, and promote women who are making significant contributions to STEAM in our community and beyond. Not in technology or not a female- that's okay - all are welcome and there is something for everyone to walk away empowered and inspired!
Students were encouraged to attend with our special student rate.
“So many intelligent and passionate women in one room......Powerful conversations, connections, and memories were made.”
— Rebekah Courtney, Caesars Southern Indiana
