ASG Technologies has announced the launch of its Women Leaders in Technology (WLIT) programme.
A staple at ASGs annual EVOLVE conference, the Women Leaders in Technology programme brings together women leaders in tech from ASG, its partners and customers, as well as other influential women in the industry for an interactive Coffee Talk session where women discuss their personal and professional experiences throughout their career.
Many attendees of this year's conference have requested the programme's expansion. As a longtime supporter of women in technology, ASG has broadened the programme to run year-round.
The revamped programme will feature quarterly virtual Coffee Talk sessions with women leaders for WLIT community members. The sessions will be hosted by Mary Wells, ASG's senior vice president of marketing, who is a champion for women in tech and the catalyst behind this programme.
Guests will include a mix of industry influencers, authors and executives who will share their personal experiences as women in the tech industry, as well as valuable insights for personal and professional growth. The Coffee Talk sessions will be formatted (virtually) to provide the opportunity for a two-way conversation between panelists and attendees to encourage sharing and learning for all members.
In addition to the quarterly Coffee Talk sessions, attendees can join ASG's Women Leaders in Technology Community. The group is dedicated to leading and mentoring women now and for generations to come. ASG's team of WLIT ambassadors a group of some of ASG's impressive women employees from across the globe will engage the community with relevant articles, industry events and other content to continuously support members' journeys as women leaders in technology. ASG WLIT ambassadors and panelists will also share blog posts every quarter to recap the Coffee Talk sessions and share a steady stream of relevant thought leadership for our members.
"As a woman who has been in the technology industry for decades, I am thrilled to be at the helm of ASGs Women Leaders in Technology programme," says Wells.
"The technology industry is constantly disrupted and changing, and it is critical that women have a place to share their unique experiences, ideas and stories with one another, embracing the disruptions and seeing them as opportunities. I look forward to the invaluable insights that will be discovered during these Coffee Talk sessions and within our community."
ASG invites its customers, partners and employees, as well as anyone in the industry to join. The first Coffee Talk session is scheduled to take place on International Womens Day (March 8).
