“

I’m really new to the industry and on an all-male team, so having a WTF event where you can meet other women in the industry and hear their stories is really important. I think it also calms the nerves before going to a really big conference; that way you’ll have a few friendly faces you’ll see throughout the week.

WOMENS TECH FORUM

The Women’s Tech Forum (WTF) is a grassroots effort focused on connecting women in the cloud, networking, and data center infrastructure industry. Our origin story came from asking two simple questions: “Why aren’t there more women in our industry?” and “how come more of us don’t know each other?” We strongly believe in creating a safe environment for women to use their voices'.

 
The entire WTF community has their hands on the steering wheel and we’re so excited to see where and how far we’ll go together.
