9th Annual Latinas in Tech Summit
Latinas in Tech Summit, the largest annual event for Latinas in the tech world, is now in its 9th year, and this year aims to empower attendees to thrive in the ever-changing technology landscape.
With more than 1,500 attendees, over 80 speakers, and three days of immersive programming, the Summit fosters innovative career paths, transformative connections, and meaningful conversations that shape the future of technology.
According to Nikki Barua, Interim Executive Director of Latinas in Tech, 40% of global jobs will be impacted by AI. However, women adopt AI tools at a rate 25% lower than men, so it is urgent to see how we can ensure that women, especially Latinas, are not left behind.
