Pushing the boundaries and being open to new ideas

Women in Tech Week 2018 promises to be more educational and exciting. Indeed, the goal of the organizers is to push the limits, but also to bring a certain openness to new ideas. In addition, through a real networking opportunity, the conference aims to help women in the ICT sector to progress and grow in this field of activity.

 

Helping women to grow and progress in ICT

This exchange is intended to be inspiring, motivating and above all enriching for all women who work in the ICT field. As a reminder, in 2017, the highlight of the event was actually the “Best Female Digital Technology Entrepreneur”. The Women in Tech conference aims to provide women with all the necessary content to progress and flourish in this world.
