Fifth Annual Women Transforming Technology Conference -- Registration Now Open
January 13 2020 - 4:15PM
VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW) today announced that registration
is open for the fifth annual Women Transforming
Technology (WT2) Conference. Taking place on Tuesday, May 5, 2020,
this exceptional event is designed to continue the important
conversation on championing and advancing women across the tech
industry. It will host attendees spanning high-school and college
students to executives from the tech industry, academia and
nonprofit organizations.
Featuring inspiring speakers who overcame adversity in
male-dominated industries, the fifth annual WT2 Conference has
a theme of “We Rise” and will continue to cultivate a supportive
environment for women, underrepresented minorities and allies in
the technology industry. This year’s keynote speakers include Laura
Dern, actress, producer, director and activist, and Kathryn Finney,
CEO of digitalundivided, a social enterprise that leads high
potential Black and Latinx women founders through the startup
pipeline.
Additional breakout sessions will focus on invigorating topics,
including ways that women can support their career aspirations as
well as those of their peers, how women can contribute to the
success of others in their daily interactions and in longer-term
policies and practices, and how women can influence the industry as
leaders and as individual contributors. Sessions will be broken
down into five tracks based on technical and experience level
including:
- Emerging Leadership – for the
professional who would like to focus on developing their personal
brand and gaining insight into their individual leadership
style
- Executive Leadership – for the more
seasoned professional who is already in the managerial track and
wanting to advance to the next level
- Technical – for professionals who want to
discuss specific products or tools or trends in tech today
- VP+ Breakout (Invite only) – for VPs and
above, content-specific for current executives
- Diversity & Inclusion – for
professionals wanting to learn and share best D&I practices and
commit to cross industry collaboration
“As we kick off the fifth year of the WT2 Conference, we
are looking forward to advancing the dialogue on how women can
empower themselves, and each other, to rise to new heights in their
careers and encourage each other’s success,” said Betsy Sutter,
corporate senior vice president and chief people officer, VMware.
“In addition to ensuring equitable progression within its own
walls, VMware is inspiring the broader community and engaging the
next generation of women in determining how we can influence the
technology industry as both leaders, and individual
contributors.”
