NOW MORE THAN EVER

In today's economy, many of us have a tendency to pull back and spend less. But now, more than ever, is the time to be aggressive, making yourself visible, and most of all, making strong connections with a network of similarly-minded, determined, goal oriented women who are going to make a difference, no matter what!

Consider this: how often do you have the opportunity to attend one, single conference in a U.S. city and connect with distinguished, professional, tech savvy women flying in from all over the world?

This is a must attend event - and we would like to invite you to join us so we can make things happen together.

And to make it easy for you to say yes, we are offering a special discount for WITI subscribers so register now and join our phenomenal Network of WITI Women!

"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
