The prime focus of this event is to encourage women in the multitude of technology careers to achieve success and enhance their performance by ensuring full utilization of current and future resources. The event will be a forum for discussion and development of a culture and environment in which women have opportunities to grow, add value and succeed within the world of technology through the many transitions and phases of life.
We will bring together a cross-section of people (men and women) who can benefit from - and add value to - an agenda for oppurtunity and growth.
