We’re doing something new this fall, and you don’t want to miss it!
On October 9, we are hosting the WIT Careers in Action Summit: a half-day experience that brings together everything you love about our programming. Think of it as a WIT Forum, WIT Technology Uncorked, and WIT Career Exploration program rolled into one morning of professional development, community, and intentional career advancement at every stage.
What the Summit includes
Breakfast & Networking kicks off the morning. Grab a plate and connect with fellow women and allies in tech before the programming begins.
The Mainstage Panel: “The Future of Women’s Careers: Leading Through Change in a New World of Work” opens the programming. Executives, technologists, and talent leaders join a moderated conversation on the new landscape of tech careers in an AI-driven world, how companies are redefining pathways to leadership, and practical advice for navigating change, growth, and visibility.
Coaching Corners are one-on-one sessions to give your personalized feedback on telling your career story and communicating your accomplishments and goals with confidence.
Skill Sparks are 40-minute breakout sessions designed to be practical and build momentum for your professional development:
9:45 am – 10:25 am
Respond Without Retreating – Learn how to respond in the moment when you’re interrupted, talked over, or challenged at work, and leave with a plan you can use right away
Design Your Next Chapter – Work through a structured exercise to get clear on your next career move and write it down before you leave
Your LinkedIn Profile Is Your First Interview – Take a close look at how your LinkedIn profile represents your personal brand, and get advice about what to change so it works harder for you
10:25 am – 11:05 am
Get Credit for What You Already Do – Do a visibility audit on the work you’re already doing, and learn how to reposition it so it gets the recognition it deserves
