About this session

Tech careers adapt and change as fast as the technology itself in many cases. There are many opportunities for career path changes that will not move your back, but launch you forward. A key skill for your career development is to understand how to leverage your experience and transferable skills.

Whether you’re breaking into tech with other industry experience, starting as a recent grad or self-taught talent or ready to build upon the foundation you have and grow into a new role… you need a strategy and plan to make it happen!

Our expert speakers have made these moves personally and professionally. These women have carved their own niche in their tech careers and have helped thousands of talented people manage their own careers.
