For those who’ve not heard of it, W-Tech 2009 is a free 1-day event on Wednesday 24 June 2009 – described as a “one day recruitment, career development and networking event for women interested in IT” – with a panel on IT careers and drinks afterwards.
Organised by the British Computer Society and Women in Technology and sponsored by Microsoft and Google amongst others, it has an interesting and varied programme and an impressive line up of speakers (almost all female), amongst whom I notice is our own Judith “deCabbit” Lewis. Although I’ve always thought that how to behave in an all male team consists of just talking louder and louder until eventually they can’t fail to notice that you’re speaking. Cough cough.
It seems well worth signing up to go, for the professional networking as well as the many talks, workshops and seminars. The site also has a general careers advice page.
