Bath University Women in Tech’s Post

What comes to mind when you hear “Women in Tech”? As we are approaching the MWC Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the anticipation for dynamic discussions and advancements are flourishing. To me, they are all a first. And to me, women in tech are the activists, the creatives, the researchers, the regulators, the policy makers and the business minded. I don’t have a degree in computer science. Am I still allowed to call myself a woman in tech? We are all aware of how homogeneous the technology industry is. Yet the importance of diversity in an industry that largely governs and represents what is put out in our society, and eventually influence our lives, is more important than ever. Women in tech encompass not only engineers but also leaders, designers, marketers, and innovators across all facets of the industry. It’s crucial that we keep bringing diverse perspectives that drive transformative change, in all facets of the industry. So whether you're in marketing, design, project management, entrepreneurship, or any other role within the tech ecosystem, let’s keep in mind that your contribution is invaluable. #womenintech #mwc24 #tech4all

What's going down in the Boston AI events scene for the next 10 days? Keep reading for the inside scoop. TL;DR: Go to this: https://lnkd.in/eS_GfXXN From the establishment, we have three biggest AI focused freetups (That's a word I just invested for Free Meetups, Freetups(tm) but the trademark is open-source so you can use it, but if your company makes more than a million dollars a year you have to pay me to use it. This is called the llama-2 license.) Sorry, again, the three big freetups: Google Developer Groups Cloud Boston: https://lnkd.in/ehieHuaN InterSystems Developers Meetup: https://lnkd.in/eZm_m-FX AICamp: https://www.aicamp.ai/ AICamp runs out of the NERD center, InterSystems runs their meetups out of Venture Cafe in the CIC, and GDG Cloud Boston hops around. These fantastic organizers have finally learned to stop scheduling their events at the same time, which means the ardent AI enthusiast could theoretically benefit from the wisdom and insight of all three groups: Tonight, March 20th, at the NERD center: AICamp present Juan Pablo from Microsoft talking about zzzzzzzzzzzzz all you heard was Microsoft. You can't go anyway if you haven't RSVP'd because you're not on the list. Next Wednesday, March 27th, at Venture Cafe: InterSystems present Dr. Qi Li and Akshat Vora. You should go to it, because they seem worried about their numbers and they just asked AICamp to repost their event to both of their Boston/Cambridge AI groups to boost their numbers. They usually have food and wine, though last time they had 12 pizzas and a case of soda. Next Thursday, March 28th, you will go to this GDG Cloud Boston event because it will be amazing: https://lnkd.in/eS_GfXXN I have an event on Friday, it's gonna be awesome, RSVPs close tomorrow: https://lnkd.in/eGgy3Qch

💡 Did you know... Women have been instrumental in shaping the tech industry from the beginning ✨ Ada Lovelace, often regarded as the world's first computer programmer, laid the groundwork for modern computing in the 19th century ⚙️ Today, women continue to make significant contributions, driving innovation and leading groundbreaking projects across various tech fields. Let’s inspire more women to join and stay in the tech sector together! 🚀 Check out where we stand as a sector in 2024: https://lnkd.in/eAnbcRXK #TechFactTuesday

Is your creative brain brewing this weekend? Here are 2 ways you can validate a new idea for free. Use the resources you have at your disposal to learn from them. Validate. Validate. Validate. Hope this helps ✌🏻 --- Hi, I'm Nomiki, Founder & CEO of PDS Lab , a tech accelerator for women. I am on a mission to bring access to women building their first tech solutions through product training, education, resources, and community. Follow my journey as I disrupt the tech ecosystem by bringing ACCESS to women building tech.

I'll give you 60% off a cool tech conference. Read more. 👇 15th of March. Want to attend interesting workshops in Krakow? Enjoy some great networking? Or maybe just you want to listen to special talks online? Note that this isn't a conference just for women. But even if you are a guy working in IT, you can send your wife/partner there. There will be a chance to have interesting conversations about technology at home later on:) Read more about the event here: https://her-conf.sphere.it The regular price is lower than for similar conferences. Also, there are a few days left for the regular price. Anyway... I decided to go into the organisers' black books and offer a one-off discount greater than theirs (why not if I can?). How to you get -60%?  🔸 Add a comment to this post. Tell why you think spHERe Conf 2024 is worth attending. 🔸 The first 2 people who really (!) want to attend and will add a comment will get -60%. This is a one-time offer for my small network. If there are more comments, I will try to get more than 2 such -60% codes. But no promises if I will succeed, but if yes, perhaps for online access only. #sphereit #techconference #womenintech

All these great connections make me feel like summer ☀️☀️☀️ A big thank you again to Olivia Neal Howell, Melody Biringer, Cornish College of the Arts for hosting this fun-day workshop last week during the Women In Tech Regatta. I enjoyed facilitating the panel “Human Connection in the Age of AI” I’ll share more of the top themes in a second post but I wanted to cover the most important part, in my not so humble opinion :)))) The workshop was designed, first and most importantly, for each participant to connect with their peers, share their top of minds, and exchange experiences, and this is intentionally where over half of the time was spent. The emphasis here was on holding space to have the conversation, being present, and exchanging with one another is the activation of human connection that is being prescribed. From one-to-one conversations to society at large. Also, the intent of the workshop was to largely create a "yes, and" culture to solidify the understanding there will be no one perfect answer, tool, or formula. And that we get to and will be designing these solutions together and collectively. In creating this culture, it is critical to recognize one is not right nor wrong, both feelings or perspectives can be mutually true, so by saying "yes, and" , we create reverence amongst the community that everyone's values and input are critical. What matters most is finding the connection first, to then work towards solutions. More to come!

🚀✨ It's #WomenInTech Week! ✨🚀 InnovateHer's 2024 Trend Report is launching this morning & you're invited! 🎉 I had the privilege of leading the #DataAnalysis for this project, which takes a hard look at how young people perceive tech and uncovers the real reasons behind the ongoing #GenderGap in our industry. The findings are eye-opening: from how young girls and boys view their potential in tech, to the subtle (and not-so-subtle) barriers that still exist. At Innovate Her, we’re using this data to spark conversations with policymakers and educators—& it's a must-read for anyone invested in building a more #diverse and #inclusive tech future. I hope to see you at the launch event, hosted by WeAreTechWomen, to dive into these insights and join the movement to close the gender gap in tech once and for all. 📅 October 8th (TODAY!) ⏰ 10-11:30am 🔗 https://ow.ly/6glu50TFoLC Together, let’s shape a tech industry that works for everyone. 💪💡 #GirlsInSTEM #DataForGood #FutureOfTech
