Upcoming Women Tech Trailblazers: A Night of Lightning Talks & Leadership

Empower. Connect. Inspire. Join the movement of women transforming Wisconsin’s tech landscape. 

Join us for an unforgettable evening during Women in Tech Week of Wisconsin Tech Month as we celebrate the emerging women leaders shaping the future of technology.

Upcoming Trailblazers is a high-energy program designed to spotlight women in tech who are just beginning to make their mark - students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals.

Each speaker will deliver a five-minute lightning talk on topics ranging from innovation and leadership to personal journeys and lessons learned.

This is more than just an event—it’s a launchpad. Every speaker will receive personalized coaching to refine their voice, and their talks will be featured on a special Women in Tech podcast episode.

Attendees will also have the chance to participate in our Interactive Ally Wall, where you’ll make visible commitments to support emerging leaders and share leadership lessons. This collaborative space will capture the spirit of community commitment and create powerful moments for photos and social media.

The night concludes with open networking, activations, and a chance to connect across Wisconsin’s tech ecosystem. Whether you’re a student, a seasoned professional, or a company looking to engage with new talent, this is the place to meet the trailblazers of tomorrow.
