International Women's Day Lunch Session: Inspire Inclusion: Women In Tech

Men are welcome and encouraged to attend this session.

Every year, International Women's Day brings a new theme. In 2024, it is #InspireInclusion.

To inspire inclusion means to celebrate diversity and empowerment.

In 2024, the campaign theme Inspire Inclusion emphasizes the importance of diversity and empowerment in all aspects of society.

This year's campaign theme underscores the crucial role of inclusion in achieving gender equality. It calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create environments where all women are valued and respected. Inspire Inclusion encourages everyone to recognize the unique perspectives and contributions of women from all walks of life, including those from marginalized communities.

The digital and tech industries are traditionally well-known to be male-dominated. In recent years, however, we have seen a shift in these industries to encourage more female leaders and develop and train the younger female generation into roles that were predominantly of more interest to men. Could this mark the beginning of a new era for women in tech?

Join us on IWD 2024 as we speak to women in tech to explore this concept.
