The Women in IT Summit Canada took place virtually on October 20 2020 and it was an inspirational day filled with informative content, thought-provoking insights, and actionable advice.
We were joined by trailblazing tech experts and D&I advocates who have shared valuable recommendations on the future of cleantech, using AI ethically, finding your digital voice, and connecting with the future talent pool.
We’d like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all of our speakers, summit sponsors Moody’s and Solutions By Design II, and our media partners, Advancing Canadian Women in Technology, The IT Media Group, and Women in Communications & Technology. And to YOU, our women in IT community for tuning in!
