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.
There are a limited number of ad sponsorships
available to support Women Who Tech: A
TeleSummit for Women in Technology. If your
