🌟 Celebrating Women in Tech: A Collaborative Success 🌟 This past week, the DGWA hosted an inspiring event focused on women in technology. The insightful discussions and shared experiences underscored the significance of diversity and empowerment in the tech industry. Two key themes resonated deeply during our event: - The Art of Balance - Our speakers highlighted the importance of establishing boundaries, especially in a world where technology often blurs the lines between work and home. - Embracing Change - The tech industry is ever-evolving, making adaptation and change management skills invaluable. Our attendees learned about the power of self-awareness and the need for continuous growth to navigate the complexities of the tech landscape. A special thank you to our distinguished speakers, ou panelists Claire M. and Juliana Pitta, and participants who brought this event to life. 🙌 Janet Cassar, Laetitia Bigot, MBA, and Chrissy Viron - your experiences, insights, and enthusiasm for fostering an inclusive tech community were truly inspiring.
