Ubuntu Blog: Collaboration, openness and partnership: key themes from this year’s WomenTech Global Conference
From 9 to 12 May this year, people from 165 countries gathered virtually for the Women in Tech Global Conference. The conference is the flagship event of the WomenTech Network, a community for women in tech worldwide. Canonical was a gold event sponsor, and several team members participated as keynote speakers, networking hosts and attendees.
When looking at the agenda in the weeks leading up to the conference, the number of speakers and sessions listed already hinted at the appetite for networking with a community of women, underrepresented groups and their allies in tech, science and engineering. A spirit of collaboration was palpable throughout the event, with close to 12,500 attendees participating across time zones. Participants’ willingness to share lessons learned and mistakes made gave many presentations a refreshing sense of authenticity.
