A Conference Like No Other
What makes ACT-W unique is our focus on community and supporting womxn and allies throughout the cycles of their tech careers. With an emphasis on inclusion, we welcome people of all genders and backgrounds. Regardless of how technical you are, there is something you can take away from ACT-W.
Even better, attending an ACT-W Conference benefits a great cause. 100% of the proceeds from ACT-W help ChickTech provide free technical workshops and mentorship for female, non-binary, and transgender high school students.

What is it like to attend ACT-W?
- The conference exceeded all my expectations: I'm now radically more motivated, I found a product that may dramatically help my nonprofit agency, and I've connected with several dynamic attendees.

- The speakers were great and helped set the tone for a fun, genuine, and inclusive conference. As a sponsor, I found the volunteers to be super helpful and generous with their time. We were hoping to meet a diverse group of people who were curious and excited to learn. ACT-W brought this group together!
Samuel C.
- I connected with a lot of great people in my field, learned about the day to day in a career path I am considering, and I even made a connection with a potential future employer. I left feeling really empowered and ready to take the next steps in my career.

- What an amazing space - not only wonderful to meet other women, but excellent topics for sessions also. It's so refreshing and energizing to be at a conference with so many other technical women. I'm so used to being one of a few most of the time. 🙂
