Women in Leadership Roundtable – Finding Strength in Numbers for Women in Technology
Increasing the number of women in Canada’s tech sector is key to the success of Canada’s knowledge economy
90% of Canada’s economy and population are now overseen by women leaders; what will this significant change and others mean to the consultative process? How can we place this conversation within the context of Canada’s tech sector where the number of women working within it remains low (24%)?
Join the City of Waterloo’s Mayor, Brenda Halloran, and members of CanWIT’s National Advisory Council as they host this important roundtable discussion!
