Women in Tech Summit
Time: April 13-14
Location: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 315 Chestnut Street
What I expect to learn and what I learn: Before go to the event, I am so excited and wonder what’s that look like, and I may meet a lot of women who are also interesting in technologies. After I go to the women in tech, it was surprise me how professional and how awesome it is. All kinds of sponsors who come from different places of Pennsylvania such as Comcast, Salesforce, The meet group and O3 World. I also met Comcast sponsors who come from New Jersey and one in Philadelphia, we had a great discussion because they are in different department and I am a MIS temple student so we can exchange the knowledge through communication. About the lectures, I am really like “Embrace Tech Trends to Strengthen your leadership skills”
there are four women who are director of strategic alliances, one stream; retired CIO of WAWA; founder and Co-CEO; SVP Strategic Planning and info, PGW
