We are still riding the high from our Women in Tech event last Wednesday night. So many heartfelt thank yous and excitement that many had found common ground with others at the event and were inspired to further the conversation about empowering Women in Tech. One topic that was touched on was if any of our panelists had a mentor or role model that they looked up to inspire them in their careers. Not many had, which makes us think, who are the super girls of the tech world? Who inspires our next generation? Then this article came out and I thought, here is someone who should be a role model; this could be one of our super girls (because there are many yet to be discovered!). Aspiring Techies take note, here is someone whose positivity in this world is inspiring. Enjoy this read about Marissa Mayer and then let us know in the comments who your role models are for your career! #Womenintech #empowerher #rolemodels #TechRoleModels #TechCommunity #TechMentorship #NextGenLeaders

Friends, this is your friendly reminder that your voice and your vote matters. My session for SXSW EDU 2025 is now up for community voting for a few more days, and this year, I’m diving into a topic that’s deeply personal to me: ✅ "Empowering Women in Tech & Event Production" This isn’t just another session—it's a call to action for more inclusive and supportive environments in our industries. Your vote can make a huge difference in getting this conversation started. Community input makes up 30% of the final selection, and I’d love to see this session come to life with your help. My journey in tech and event production hasn’t always been smooth. I’ve faced challenges, been pushed aside, and had to fight for my place at the table. But those experiences only strengthened my resolve to pave the way for others. This session is more than just words; it’s a reflection of my commitment to creating spaces where everyone can thrive. If this resonates with you, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could UpVote and share your thoughts. Every vote and comment counts! ✅ Sign in and cast your vote here: https://lnkd.in/e5VHUvee Thank you for being a part of this mission with me! #SXSWEDU #DEI #SupportEachOther #VoteToday #womenintech #womeninAI #womenincloud #LeadershipMatters #womeninAV #AIspeaker #AVspeaker #speakonAI #speaktech #Empowerment

Thanks to the inspiring panelists at the Women in Tech Breakfast at the TM Forum in Dallas: Chris Anderson, Stephanie Ormston, Merlyn Murthodi-Slivinsky, Andrea Austin, and Jean Lawrence. Here are a few key takeaways to fire you up: 1. Advocate for yourself. Don't wait to be noticed. 2. There are many paths to enter tech without a tech degree. 3. Cultivate relationships across the org. The most important career conversations happen when you are not in the room. 4. The path to success is not always the easy path. 5. Give yourself grace during challenging times. Brian Rosso Ward Kinney Maria Jose Fowler Mary Wells Anthony Behan Steve Moroski Violet Wittig Ron Wood #womenintech #womenindata
