More and more women are succeeding in technology, but a significant gap still exists between where we are today and where we have the potential to be in the next decade. Those who have succeeded can tell you about the obstacles, and the different ways they have used their strengths to overcome them. In this year's workshop, you'll once again have the unique opportunity to get advice and coaching from successful leaders across the industry as we examine ways to turn imperfect situations into glittering successes, much like the saying about turning sow's ears into silk purses.Steering Committee:

as well as how to find a mentor or coach. She'll give you her top five
strategies for success in the challenging world of technology.
