About this event

Join us for a thought-provoking exploration into the dynamic world of women in tech with our event, "Close, Closer, yet Far: From Trailblazers to Unexplored Paths - Understanding the Diverse Journeys of Women in Tech." This week, we've witnessed remarkable women surpassing their male counterparts in the tech industry, showcasing exceptional skills and leadership. Simultaneously, there are those facing significant challenges, struggling to bridge the gap.

This event is more than just a discussion; it's a collective journey through the triumphs and tribulations of women in tech. We delve into the paradoxical landscape where opportunities abound, yet some remain untapped. Are we truly shying away from these opportunities, or is it a matter of ingrained perceptions that technical domains are not meant for everyone?

Our gathering is an open dialogue, fostering an environment where the achievements of women excelling in tech are celebrated, and the disparities and challenges faced by others are acknowledged. "Close, Closer, yet Far" encapsulates the proximity of opportunities juxtaposed with the distance some women feel from grasping them.

As we explore these diverse journeys, we aim to unravel the underlying factors influencing the choices women make in the tech realm. Is it a question of mindset, societal expectations, or a combination of both? Join us in deciphering the intricate threads that weave the narratives of women in tech, from those who blaze trails to those navigating unexplored paths.

Come be a part of this enlightening conversation that transcends stereotypes and embraces the multifaceted experiences of women in the tech industry. Let's collectively chart a course toward a more inclusive and supportive future.
