👩💻 Tech Events for Women: Color Me Skeptical! I have to confess, I’ve always been a bit skeptical about tech events designed exclusively for women. Skills, a lot of hard work, and a sprinkle of (let's face it, often serendipitous) luck usually determine where we are, not gender, right? So, why highlight gender differences? But guess what? This week, I was pleasantly surprised! 😮 I attended "Empowering Women in Tech: Strategies for Pivoting Careers, Advancement, and Leadership," coordinated by GirlCode 🤜 🤛 - an incredible organization tackling the gender gap in tech. Held in the gorgeous Scout24 Group office and supported by flaconi, Nordcloud, an IBM Company, and Beamery, this event was an eye-opener. What made it special? The ticketing rule! 😁 🎫 Only one ticket per person meant everyone arrived solo. No cliques, just individuals eager to connect. This led to an environment filled with openness, wonderful new connections, and intriguing conversations. The mix of experiences, cultures, and fields was incredibly inspiring and refreshing. You don’t get this at massive events like DMEXCO or OMR. The intimate, few-dozen-people setting allowed for more personal interactions. Highlight: The Panel Discussion Before the panel, moderator Carolina engaged the audience with a survey - raising hands if they experienced certain things: 👉 More men than women in your workplace? Forest of hands 🙌 👉 Ever felt imposter syndrome? Forest of hands 🙌 It was heartening to feel such a shared experience among so many 💚 The panel itself was captivating. I was so engrossed that the 1.5 hours flew by! ⏳ ⌛ Kalpana Devi, Engineering Manager, shared how Flaconi’s pro-women policies allowed her to take on a managerial role without sacrificing family time. Flaconi provides child-friendly offices, day-care and genuine flexibility - nice 👌 Akriti Stachelek, Head of Engineering at Scout24, encouraged supporting those with potential, boosting their confidence to aim higher. Her natural and authentic leadership style was refreshing. 👏 Olivia Menzel Global Offering Operations Lead, emphasized the importance of appreciation, both in life and through Nordcloud’s internal kudos program - a beautiful initiative 💛 Meng Li Wong, Engineering Manager - who fittingly describes herself as HUMAN on LinkedIn 🥇 —shared her journey from being afraid to speak up in male-dominated meetings to embracing action and learning from failures. Her message was clear: mistakes are human, learning is part of the process, and perfectionism can be a roadblock. Meng put it beautifully: "Stepping into a leadership role is reversible, so why overthink it?" Overall, this event was a delightful surprise and a great reminder of the power of #DiversityAndInclusion in tech. #WomenInTech #Empowerment #Leadership #CareerGrowth #TechEvents #Networking #Inspiration #GirlCode #Flaconi #Nordcloud #Beamery #scout24
