How do women build careers in tech, and what role can communities play in helping them succeed? This panel discussion organised by North Star and Clusity explores the diversity of career paths in the tech industry and the power of networks in helping women move forward.
There is no single path into tech. From career changes and unexpected opportunities to overcoming challenges and breaking barriers, every professional journey is unique.
Three women with different experiences and perspectives from across the tech industry will share their insights:
The discussion will be moderated by Rein Meirte from Clusity.
Through personal stories and career-defining experiences, they will share how they built their careers, the obstacles they encountered and the people and opportunities that helped them move forward.
The panel will also explore how things have changed for women in tech, which barriers remain and how mentorship, sponsorship, professional networks and supportive communities can help create new opportunities.
With a focus on ambition, hope and collective action, this discussion aims to encourage more women to explore careers in tech, recognise their potential and build the confidence and connections they need to take their next steps.
