By:
Rafael Ruffolo
On:
17 Aug 2011
For:
ComputerWorld Canada
The Computer Dealer News hosted event brought together women from across the IT channel to discussion their personal experiences working in the traditionally male-dominated industry
The first ever “women in the IT channel” event took place in Toronto on Tuesday, with conference goers meeting to discuss the successes and challenges of women working in tech.
The event, sponsored by
Ingram Micro Canada
and hosted by
CDN
, drew in women of all ages looking to share their ideas on how educational institutions, business and government can promote the “cool factor” of
women in IT
.
IT World Canada covered the event and spoke to several speakers and attendees throughout the day.
