Mission


mouse2Women Who Tech brings together talented and renowned women breaking new ground in technology who use their tech savvy skills to transform the world and inspire change. We provide a supportive network for the vibrant and thriving community of women in technology professions by giving women an open platform to share their talents, experiences, and insights. On May 12, 2009 we hosted the second annual Women Who Tech TeleSummit which brought together over 600 women from across the US and abroad in the non-profit, political and business world for an incredible lineup of thought provoking panels featuring technology change makers such as Joan Blades of MoveOn to Charlene Li, and Lisa Stone of BlogHer to discuss getting more women involved in open source, breaking through the digital ceiling and more.  To get the latest info on the Women Who Tech please sign up for our mailing list.

Why Women Who Tech
  •  

    WOMEN ARE UNDERREPRESENTED


    Some of the most gifted folks in technology are women yet they are rarely quoted as experts by the mainstream media and blogs. Furthermore women are significantly underrepresented on panels at major technology conferences.
  •  

    TO BREAK DOWN BARRIERS


    The TeleSummit aims to break down the barriers and showcase the brilliant talents of women who tech out.
  •  

    TO MOBILIZE A NETWORK OF WOMEN


    One of our long term goals is to create a database of women technology experts to be used as a resource for the media and tech conference organizers. This database will not only provide a strong network of women in the technology sector but support the creative talents and energies of women who thrive in this arena.
