Diverse Women in Tech

Join WiTWA and nbn for our collaboration of Diverse Women in Tech event on Friday, 9 September 2022, where we will be hosting three dynamic and diverse technology leaders in WA.

This event will shine a light on diverse technology leaders in WA who will share their unique insights on working as entrepreneurs and business leaders and offer their views and vision of the future.

The good news is; we will have the privilege of hearing from Bec Nguyen, Dr Eunice Sari, and Kathryn Gledhill-Tucker.

As WiTWAs mission states, "If you can see her, you can be her", with this event we want to inspire young women to pursue this path by listening to other diverse women who have been through a similar journey.
