The Voices conference will begin in Australia the week of March 5th 2018 and follow the sun, inviting technical women from every region of the globe to add their voices to this event ending in Silicon Valley USA. This landmark event is an opportunity, to hear what women around the world are passionate about, how each speaker and attendee belong to the bigger picture and provide support and connection locally through access to information, resources and collaboration. Global Tech Women believes no matter where you are located you should have access to a conference built for women in tech in every corner of the globe.
This is an opportunity for researchers to present their current work, industry women to discuss the latest technological developments, entrepreneurs and social activists to showcase how they are leveraging technology to change the world and students to present virtual posters on their projects and activities in school. Events held on International Women's day can be attended in person through our partners, virtually online or access the recorded sessions anytime allowing you to see them for the first time, view them again or share them with others.
The attendees will range from students to executives using this global platform to get inspired, stay on top of emerging trends, learn and network.
The organizing committee will review all abstracts submitted to the conference on the basis of a set of criteria including the quality of the submission and its relevance to this conference, originality and scope of the subject matter.
