What people say about this event
It was a brilliant event - particularly the panel session. Listening to successful women speaking about their experiences in the technology industry was really motivating, especially when they spoke on certain topics including imposter syndrome and the unique challenges women face being in a male-dominated industry.
It was very insightful and educational. I believe it gave me more confidence for when i apply for future roles and placements. Hearing about other women's experiences within this field inspired me to look into other roles and sectors that I may not have considered before.
A really enjoyable experience and an event which was very well run. I got the opportunity to meet lots of like-minded young women which was both insightful and inspiring. Thank you very much for this opportunity
