For International Women’s Day 2026, the CAN-TECH Women in Technology Committee will bring together a dynamic group of women leaders who embody the spirit of Give to Gain and demonstrate how intentional investment, collaboration, and shared success can drive meaningful progress for women in technology and beyond.
Through candid conversations and personal stories, our speakers will explore how giving through mentorship, advocacy, knowledge-sharing, sponsorship, and opening doors creates powerful ripple effects and lasting impact. Give To Gain reminds us that when women invest in women, opportunity grows, communities are strengthened, and we all benefit.
The evening will begin with a cocktail mix-and-mingle, followed by an intimate fireside chat and dinner with our speakers. These moments are designed to share practical takeaways, spark real conversation and build connection.
