WOMEN OF COLOR | Technology Recognition Luncheon

So much has happened since our last conference. Our world continues to push the pause button with a pandemic that knows no limits. And our nation raises its collective voices, as never before, for justice and equality. Against this tumultuous backdrop are Women of Color standing tall and proud. Rising up. With talent. With fortitude. With determination.

Join us in recognizing hundreds of them at our luncheon — our Rising Stars and Technology All Stars — chosen by their respective companies and organizations. Their impressive accomplishments inspire
