What is Women Techmakers?
Women Techmakers is Google’s brand and global programme for women in technology. It is an initiative that aims to raise awareness of innovative female leaders in technology and inspire others to join the field. It does this through raising the visibility of women in tech, through online community-building, and through providing resources to support women develop their technical skillsets. The focus of WTM is on both local events, and higher-level resources and global community building.
What is the conference about?
There will be a wide range of speakers and panels at the conference, including inspirational talks from local entrepreneurs, discussion panels about the big issues in the industry at present, and technical talks from industry leaders. An agenda for the event will be available soon!
