How are women changing the tech world? What are the challenges women face in a tech career? Hear from both regional and local women, their stories, and their successes. Join us for an inspiring night of speakers:

• Pratima Rao Gluckman: Author of “Nevertheless, She Persisted” knew from a young age that she wanted to be an engineer. But there are unique challenges for women. Gluckman’s hope is that this book contributes meaningful changes in the tech world so that many more women can enter careers as engineers and thrive to become effective leaders in their organizations. Book signing and books for sale at the event.
