The desire is to create a space where our tech audience, regardless of gender, can build authentic connections and implement healthy practices in their organizations. Our long-term vision is to transform Empower Tech into a community where positive change around diversity and gender equality is not only possible, but also visible. In the technology conferences we organize we have a significant percentage of 36% women and we consider it an impetus to explore as many representative sectors as possible that will have an impact in technology and business in the next 5 years.
