Session
Organizations supporting women in Montréal: bridging gaps, breaking barriers together
Soft skill (Main Stage) (14:00 ~ 15:00)
This panel showcases the leading organizations dedicated to supporting women in Montréal's tech industry. We're united by a common goal: ensuring women have the knowledge and resources they need to thrive and shape their futures in tech, on par with their male counterparts. Montréal boasts a vibrant ecosystem of organizations working towards this vision, and this panel celebrates that diversity. While each organization maintains its unique identity and approach, we recognize the power of collaboration. Together, we amplify our impact and send a clear message: we are committed to working together to welcome and empower more women and other minorities in the tech sector.
