3 Sponsorship Spots Left – Don’t miss out!
As we continue to strive for gender diversity in the technology industry, it's important to acknowledge the role that sponsorship can play in supporting women in this field. Sponsoring women in technology organizations is a crucial step in promoting gender diversity and inclusivity in the industry. By supporting these initiatives, we can create a more equitable and thriving tech community for all.
She# (pronounced “She Sharp”) was founded in June 2014, and is a non-profit networking group for
high school girls, women in tertiary studies and industry professionals.
Our goals are to connect technology students and professionals to ICT companies by creating networking events
where they can meet. Companies have the chance to promote positions, programmes, or internships to prospective future employees, and attendees have the opportunity to make valuable industry contacts.
A typical She# event is hosted by a tech-related company and consists of keynote speakers who share their passion for science and technology, what brought them into the field, and the experiences, challenges, and successes they have faced.
Followed by practical sessions are also run to demonstrate real-world situations, and teach members valuable career skills such as management, leadership, and communication. Wrapping up with networking and nibbles.
The benefits of sponsoring women in technology organizations are numerous. Nothing is more motivating to girls who are either studying computer science or considering it, starting or have experience in the industry, than to see other women in the field sharing their experiences, challenges, and successes. Sponsors also benefit from the exposure and networking opportunities that come with supporting these initiatives.
Bonus: we would slot nicely with your company’s marketing plan and corporate social responsibility.
