Technology First - Women 4 Technology Conference

Log in

You don’t become

stronger by
accident.

Life, like technology, moves fast. You make the best decisions you can with the information you have at the time. You experiment, gather data, analyze it, iterate it, and try to make an even better decision next time.
Sometimes the experiment fails, and the feedback is rough. Sometimes the experiment is successful, and you do not feel worthy to take credit. Whatever the result, Own IT!
Join Women 4 Technology as we spend a few hours exploring what it means to:

Know your worth
Do it scared
Take the leap
Practice self-awareness
Turn setbacks into strengths
Transform fear into courage
Decide who to disappoint next

Find out in real life and in real time how to use your personality, career challenges, and life experience to own your role, take control of your life, and create your future.
