Women in Tech Sweden

The March 8 Session

09:00 Main session

Together with our Main Partners AccentureEY and Volvo Cars we’ll check the temperature on the industry and what’s happening as many of us are returning to the offices.

Are there any shifts regarding the relentless search for talent, what kind as skills and roles are most searched for, what are new insights when it comes to leadership and self-leadership? These and – most importantly – your questions that we hope to get in the chats will be topics in the talks.

10:00 Networking in Wonder

After our main session we will meet in Wonder for discussions and networking. No software needed, just click the link below.
