The human side of tech: Identity, resilience & leadership 💡
Join us in Toronto for an inspiring evening with Alana Karen...
Hello!
Building a life in and around technology requires more than just technical skills. Often, the most profound breakthroughs come from navigating systemic barriers, embracing our identity, and cultivating resilience.
Yet, these lived experiences and the very human journeys behind our careers are rarely discussed openly.
To change that, we are bringing together professionals, students, and ecosystem builders for a meaningful and energizing night of dialogue and connection.
You are invited to: Adventures of Women in Tech & Life
This is not just a conversation about work. It is a community gathering that celebrates women and gender-diverse leaders through honest reflection.

We are thrilled to anchor the evening with a keynote fireside chat featuring Alana Karen, an award-winning executive, author, and former Google Director. With over 25 years of experience leading teams at a global scale, Alana will share her insights on navigating career, identity, and leadership in today's tech landscape.
What to expect during the evening:

🎙️ Panel Conversation: A deep dive into Women in STEM — Journeys, Realities & Lessons Learned.
