The Most Important Event for Women in Technology Returns to the Silicon Valley!


Join WITI, the world's leading professional organization for executive women in technology, for a variety of hands on speaking engagements and dynamic panel discussions at WITI's Annual Women Powering Technology Summit at the Marriott Hotel in Santa Clara, CA June 2-4, 2013.

At WITI's Annual Summit, executive women, entrepreneurs, and technology thought leaders from around the world converge to...

  • collaborate on innovative solutions to common business challenges,
  • explore new business opportunities that underscore how technology is powering change, and
  • build and expand strong connections in a welcoming networking environment of women committed to helping each other succeed.

At WITI's Women Powering Technology Summit You Will Learn...

  • Informed insiders' insights on current trends and coming developments in technology
  • From young women in research, about innovative technology projects for their graduate degrees - ranging from recharging smartphone batteries from ambient energy, to next-generation green tech, to wifi on steroids
  • Hard-learned lessons from C-Level executives on how best channel your strengths, showcase your effectiveness, and make a difference for your career - and the bottom line of your organization
  • Guy Kawasaki's perspectives on how to use likeability, trustworthiness, and innovation to change the world
  • Strategies on building and maintaining a business network, from Silicon Valley entrepreneur, executive, and connection-maker extraordinaire Heidi Roizen
  • Industry challenges faced by up-and-coming women in tech, and how they're resolving them
  • Best practices for promoting successful adoption of social media networking tools to deepen customer relationships, generate new ideas faster, and enable a more effective workforce
  • The skills and mindset that allow you to be a "good coach," whether your official title is C-level, manager, or supervisor
  • To powerfully formulate your own unique, personal model of being a woman and a first-class leader
  • Skills to create a "big vision" of strategic alliances and partnerships to extend beyond your organization and take the business to the next level
  • Benefits, challenges, and practical guidelines on doing business globally - whether you're entering the global market, or expanding your business
  • Strategies for success in your venture - as an entrepreneur, intrapreneur, or high-value consultant
  • How BIG DATA works - who has access to it, and what control consumers have (if any) over what's made available to external sources
  • How to take advantage of supplier diversity to get contracts with big corporations looking for women-owned businesses to supply the products/services they need
  • How to develop the innovative concept of change intelligence to prioritize competing demands and bolster career success
  • The successful methods big companies are deploying to attract women to STEM careers
  • Best practices being utilized by women in technology the world over - to advance their careers, move technology forward, and make a positive difference.

Special Summit Features:

  • Networking opportunities, including a Sunday night Founder's Reception hosted by WITI Founder Carolyn Leighton - plus our Taste of Technology Reception Monday evening, and our new WITI Celebrates! closing dessert reception on Tuesday.
  • Speaker Roundtable Discussions during luncheon both days, so you can interact personally with Summit Faculty and discuss issues of specific interest to you and your organization.
  • No One Stands Alone: WITI strives to create genuinely welcoming environments where each person is treated with equal support and respect. Our policy at the Summit - as at all WITI events - is that no person stands alone; i.e., it is each person's responsibility to welcome a solitary individual into the group; no cliques are tolerated at WITI events.
  • The opportunity to meet with hundreds of tech-savvy women and engage in a free exchange of ideas and experiences.
