DIGITAL AMAZONS - The Power of Women in Technology Conference

2024-11-26T07:00:00.000Z

In 2023, a study conducted within the STEM field inspired our autumn conference. On November 26, 2024, we will continue to build on these thoughts and experiences, examining the remaining questions, this time focusing on the IT and technology sectors.

Are you interested in the challenges faced by Dame Stephanie Shirley, a pioneer in information technology, throughout her career? Curious about where we stand today—are the numbers improving, or do women still tend to avoid this field? And for those who venture here, what successes can they expect? Is leadership accessible, or is that glass ceiling still too thick? And what about artificial intelligence—does it replicate our human stereotypes, or can we nurture it to be inclusive?

Guided by these questions, we invite you to our autumn conference filled with personal stories, professional discussions, and inspiring speakers.

Budapest

The best things to do in Budapest! Several medieval bridges connect the 2 sides of the city that give it its name: Buda and Pest. Cruising along the Danube is a great way to see Budapest in all its glory.
