Women in Technology: NECCI Public Relations Roundtable 2024 to hold 24th edition in October
Women in Technology: NECCI Public Relations Roundtable, 2024, is set to hold its 24th edition in October 31, 2024 at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos, Nigeria. This year’s edition themed “Women in Technology” focuses on how women are making impact and influence and breaking barriers in the Tech industry. The roundtable aims to bring together women leaders, innovators, and professionals in technology across the nation to celebrate, discuss and advance the role of women in the technology sector.
Women make up 33% of the tech-related workforce (Deloitte) and sadly the representation of women in tech is less than 3 in 10 people (Anitab). Experts have therefore argued that there is need to cultivate an inclusive tech world where women have a role to play. The women in the tech ecosystem, though few,compared to their numbers, are goal getters, innovative, resilient, audacious and daring. They are breaking barriers for a sustainable future. They promote tech leadership, digital skills and advocate gender equity reform.
The roundtable will feature inspiring talks by industry leaders including the highly respected Ola Williams, CEO Microsoft Nigeria and Ghana as the keynote speaker under the distinguished chairmanship of Her Excellency Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele, Deputy Governor of Ogun State. Other distinguished speakers include Ogo Ofomata, Director, Airtel Business Nigeria, Temitayo Salako, Head of Marketing, Tunga, Chisom Nwokwu (Software Engineer Microsoft), Adora Nwodo, Digital Creator & Founder, Nexascale, Daniella Usiade, Petroleum Engineer, Ikeoluwa Ali-Balogun, Information Science and Media Studies and a few others yet to confirm their participation.
There will be networking sessions designed to foster collaboration and mentorship among attendees that will include key players in the technology industry, innovative business leaders, and key opinion leaders in public relations and other sectors, distinguished diplomats, publicists corporate communication executives, business development executives, entrepreneurs, and captains of industry, as well as general stakeholders within the economic and social sectors targeted by the current theme.
