Sincerely, SPEAKERS Leanne Pittsford Founder, Lesbians Who Tech JOINING ONLINE STUDENTS Lesbians Who Tech is hosting our second annual Summit in New York from October 1st -4th in New York. Our Summit is an effort to bring together over 1,000 queer women in tech (and allies), a group that is rarely represented in either of the communities of which they are a part – the tech community or the LGBT community – for the most unique technology conference ever. The Summit stretches over four days featuring a diverse number of activities and experience. During the conference we will be hosting a variety of weekend events including our second annual hackathon, a new leadership development workshop for executive level attendees and fun gatherings such as Lesbians Who Golf & Bike. We will highlight incredible queer women who have paved the way for a more equal workplace and society, as well as the next generation of technical leaders. This year in New York there will be a special focus on the intersection of technology and digital in both media and finance. The Summit will be hosted at NYU Law School in Washington Square Park along with satellite events at various locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Lesbians Who Tech in the Press "If Every Tech Conference Were Like Lesbians Who Tech, Tech Would Be A Much Better Place Lesbians Who Tech featured in CNN Lesbians Who Tech featured in Fortune Lesbians Who Tech in Forbes Lesbians Who Tech featured in the New York Times “Unbridled Innovation at LWT Summit,” SAP Community Network Lesbians Who Tech alters perspectives, feelings and lives for many of its members Attending the Lesbians Who Tech Summit showed me my career horizon is much greater than I imagined...Seeing these role models and peers, knowing I am not the lone female engineer but instead one of many gives me greater confidence in putting myself out there as a lesbian in technology.” It's so rare to have a space that feels dedicated to both who I am and what I do-this summit is IT if you are lesbian/queer and working in tech! :) After the Summit was over, I felt like I grew 3 feet taller from meeting so many successful, ambitious, smart women. I now know I can indeed dream bigger--and make it happen. ” Never have I felt more proud of who I am and more excited to be in the tech field. “ To learn more and become a sponsor, contact Leanne Pittsford: [email protected].
