About the event

Ready to connect with other driven women who are building, leading, and growing in tech and business? Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship Night is an in-person evening designed for women founders, leaders, and professionals who are looking to get more than surface-level networking. This event is all about meaningful conversations, real business connections, and practical insights and frameworks that you can actually apply. Whether you operate in technology, startups, sales, strategy, or business growth, this night is dedicated to you. While the evening focuses on women in tech and entrepreneurship, we also welcome allies who actively support inclusive leadership and collaborative growth. The event began with curated networking and an interactive connection activity to help you meet the right people (not just collect business cards). We explored how high-performing women leaders are leveraging technology to build scalable sales engines, followed by an interactive session to help you identify opportunities within your own strategy. We closed the evening with an honest panel discussion on growth, decision-making, and building influence in today's fast, tech-oriented ecosystem. An opportunity to: • Expand your network with purpose • Increase your visibility within the ecosystem • Learn practical strategies to grow your business or career • Connect with women who think strategically and lead purposefully A heartfelt thank you to our speakers Claudia Mason and Nadia Shaikh-Naeem, and to our panelists Jamal Temirova, Elayne Wandler, Meena Sandhu and Pramila Nair for sharing their insights, experiences, and perspectives with our community. Thank you as well to Inside View Global and Microsoft for helping make this event possible.
