Women in Technology Online Festival | Maddox Events | 16 November 2020 | Virtual Event

10,000+ female tech professionals and diversity advocates from across the globe will unite at The Women in Technology World Series Online Festival this November.

Join this week-long festival to celebrate the power of resilience amongst female tech professionals as we shine a light on the transformative tech engineered by women of all diverse backgrounds across the world.

Let us unite, not just in preserving the sense of unity amongst the females in the tech community, but in solidarity in our collective mission to inspire warriors to fight against the systemic injustices women face.
