Women are underrepresented in the workforce, especially in leadership roles. In 2023, only 53 Fortune 500 companies had a female CEO. In the technology sector, only 14% of tech leadership positions are held by women. This means that when it comes to collaborating, meeting, or negotiating, female leaders are often the only women in the room. How does this reality impact women in technology? How can women in leadership positions help other women up the ladder?
This poster session will be led by two women CIOs from successful higher education institutions. They will discuss their journeys and experiences when advancing their careers in the technology and higher education environments. The presenters will also highlight new ways you can help other women advance their careers in tech, higher education, and business.
