Note: Registration is required as this event is limited to 20 participants, and is intended to create a safe and welcoming environment for women and allies. Open to non-SWE members, too, so invite a friend! Click here to register for the event.
WE23 Annual Conference

WITS Project Author and Conference Speaker Opportunity
Women in Technology and Science: Is this your year to take the stage as an expert in your industry, build your personal brand, and become a published author?
The WITS Project (an acronym for Women in Technology and Science) is a world-class collaborative book and event project created to spotlight 30+ women leaders who have transformed, influenced, or improved the work culture for women in technology and science fields.
One of our members partnered with the team at @worldchangers-media – a woman-owned/operated publishing company – to design this opportunity to elevate the voices of women who are revolutionizing the worlds of tech and science.
HOW IT WORKS:
We will select 30 authors/speakers to participate in this event through an application and interview process. Each author/speaker will contribute a 2000-word story to our book, The WITS, and then leverage that story to create a powerful signature talk. At the author event, you’ll receive training from powerhouse experts in personal branding, speaking, and storytelling for impact. Then, you’ll have the opportunity to take the stage as a presenter at our 2024 conference in Providence, Rhode Island. Finally, we’ll show you how to use the results of this project to build and leverage your personal brand to create greater influence, visibility, leadership, and success within their respective fields.
If you’re ready to invest in yourself, your vision for strategic career growth, and your legacy, this is an amazing opportunity that you won’t want to miss. We want to elevate your voice so you can elevate the voices and contributions of other women in tech!
Please contact thewitsproject@gmail.com to learn more, submit your interest or schedule an informational interview. Join our next EC meeting to learn more.
