About this event
In celebration of International Women in Tech Day, ACS presents a 4-part series to empower women by giving them the tools to thrive in professional settings. We’ve listened to your experiences—the challenges of navigating unfamiliar networking spaces, overcoming imposter syndrome, and gaining respect despite cultural and linguistic differences.
This webinar will equip you with strategies to build self-assurance and amplify your voice. You will hear from 2x leading women who will share their first-hand experiences, and practical insights that have helped them overcome adversity. Connect with like-minded women, gain valuable insights, and leave feeling empowered to take on any room with confidence.
