Women in Tech Conference Tracks & Topics

May 20

 

Who is it for? What is it about?
The Chief in Tech Summit is open to women, minorities and allies looking for advancements and real-world experience as insight into their own leadership styles.

Participants will learn how to drive change forward as leaders, as well as opportunities to develop new strategies for advancing women throughout their careers. Open to all ticket holders.

 

Leaders have a significant influence on the culture of their organizations. They establish the agenda, prioritize tasks, manage, lead, and inspire. What influences and motivates them? How do they set the vision and provide purpose for the team? The discussions will focus on leadership, cultural fit, D&I, talent, equal pay, generation gap, workforce reintegration, employer branding, hiring and more.

What is the current state of female leadership in tech? How are women in tech leading the dialogue on social justice in their own companies? What strategies are companies using to increase diversity and drive retention? What are some of the biggest roadblocks women face when working in the industry? How can companies create a more inclusive work environment so that women can advance in their careers?

This track discusses the impact of technology on society & nature, how technology can be used for good, and how tech is changing the world for the better. Some of the topics we will focus on are climate change, renewable energy, global warming, education, mobility ethics and data governance and protection. We will also talk about UN sustainability goals, ethics in AI, cybersecurity and more.

It is a critical time in the Tech industry for C-Suite leaders. Tech companies are transforming rapidly, and it can be a challenge to keep up with the pace of change. How do senior executives navigate these shifting waters? How do they make important decisions, manage crises and maintain their job satisfaction during challenging times?

The demands of motherhood are challenging enough. But how do mothers navigate the C-Suite as they deal with the challenges of work and family? Women, who manage dual working-parenting roles often face additional obstacles and emotional strain as they pursue their ambitions, such as maintaining work-life balance and dealing with gender bias and discrimination in the workplace. Join us as we discuss how you can juggle your professional and personal lives while working in the C Suite. We will also talk about strategies for success, maintaining work-life balance, and overcoming obstacles.

It is the responsibility of company leaders to recognize how emerging technologies are transforming business practices and to lead their organization through this transition. Companies can no longer rely on old methods to keep up with the pace of innovation in technology and the rapid change in structures such as micros, flexible set-ups, remote workforces, hybrid & virtual teams, etc. This track discusses how to lead, manage, and develop digital transformation within your organization in order to innovate and drive awareness and adoption of your products while also creating more inclusive experiences.

Technology is constantly evolving, with emerging leaders and new companies that are creating impactful products. Tech founders play an integral part in the global economy, creating products that are changing our lives. Join the future champions to discuss the state of Tech entrepreneurship and how to overcome challenges.

Technology is a driving force in the world and despite making up more than half of the workforce, women and people from disadvantaged groups remain underrepresented in the technology industry. What are companies doing to improve diversity and drive retention? How can we build inclusive cultures that support equity for all employees? This track discusses how to advance women throughout their careers, ways people are leading the dialogue on social justice within their own companies, strategies that are being used to increase diversity & inclusion in tech, how #BlackLivesMatter is impacting hiring practices, workplace culture at organizations with strong female leadership, white privilege-systematic issues faced by women of color in tech due to lack of representation, and more.

Tech companies are still largely male-dominated, and there are many barriers that women must overcome in order to move beyond middle management as a result making it challenging for women to advance to the C-suite. Join us as we discuss what you should be doing during your career to prepare yourself for the C-Suite, what steps you can take to accelerate your career and how you can stand out as a leader. We will also talk about the skills that you need to have, pitfalls that derail careers and strategies for success.

What's next after the C-Suite? Tech leaders may be called upon to sit on boards, run for political office or promote social causes. Learn more about what C-Suite leaders are doing now and how their motivation has changed since they were at the helm of tech companies.

The Key Tech Summit invites tech leaders, engineers, product managers, and women, minorities, and allies working in technology-driven businesses to exchange experience on the latest tech trends, learn new skills, and network with peers. Discussions will feature leading technology experts and professionals from all over the world. Technology is constantly evolving, with leading companies, emerging startups, and tech leaders playing an integral part in the global economy, creating impactful products that are changing our lives.

A lot has changed with software engineering over the past few years; what was once monolithic now needs to be broken down into microservices, APIs, etc., as companies start building cloud-native applications instead of traditional on-premise models. How do we break up our codebases?

As more of our lives move online, customer experience has become increasingly important. We expect more of the businesses we engage with, whether we're buying goods or looking for service. It's no longer enough to just offer static and dynamic information about your products and company; personalized experiences are now essential to successful businesses. We'll discuss how to improve customer experience and online conversions, as well as how AI and machine learning can be used in the pursuit of superior customer support.  We'll discuss building a customer-centric digital strategy that captures customers' attention and enhances their experience across all touchpoints, from the early stages of research through purchase and beyond.​​​​​​​

Digital is flourishing.

Even though we are working from home, it’s important to continue growing professionally by participating in various online summits, webinars and conferences. Yet it is equally important to inform your boss about your plans so you can fully dive into the event and enjoy the experience without being afraid to be “uncovered” or feeling guilty for not having communicated it with your manager. Here are some tips on how to convince your boss and receive “the green light” to use your working day as a day to learn from top industry experts, expand your network and upgrade your skills. 
​​​​​​​

Here are some tips to help convince your manager how investing in your professional development will benefit your organization, so you can receive “the green light” to use your working hours to learn from top industry experts, expand your network and upgrade your skills. 

Tip 1:
Emphasize that this is a virtual conference, so there is no cost associated with travel or accommodations. The ticket is the only expense, and we’ve intentionally kept the price low to make it affordable!

Tip 2:
Review the tracks and speakers, and create a schedule with a list of keynotes and sessions you'd like to attend. Tie them to responsibilities associated with your current position or ways you’d like to grow in your career.

Tip 3:
Define your top three reasons for attending and how it will contribute to your professional growth and benefit the company: 

Explain to your manager as clearly as possible why this conference is unique and why it is worth attending. Don’t forget to mention that the mission of the network is to unite 1 000 000 women in tech to learn from each other and make an impact together. 

You will want to add that you will position the company while networking with other international participants from all over the world. 
You can also mention that learning from world-leading speakers who are experts in the tech field will help you (and thus your company) save time (which equals money) to figure it out on your own. Check out which tracks are the most relevant to your company.

Tip 4:
Outline the above points in a conversation or email to your manager. See the template below for suggestions.

We hope you found these tips helpful. We are looking forward to seeing you at our conference! Stay safe!
