How have the stories of women in technology changed amidst a global pandemic?
We’ve reached the one-year mark of life in this “new normal” and the disparate impact on women, both professionally and personally, has been immense. The arrival of Spring and promise of brighter days ahead inspired us to create an opportunity to come together outside of our annual event. We’ve invited two dynamic guest speakers from the WIT community to share their reflections about the past year and the ways they’ve reimagined community in the time of social distancing.
