Our second annual VU Women in Tech Conference took place on Saturday, January 28, 2017, featuring a robust line-up of 20 speakers and attracted over 175 attendees. Dr. Marisa Weiss kicked off the day by sharing how she leverages technology to reach over 91 million users who have been impacted by breast cancer. Following the keynote, the one-day conference proceeded with sessions focusing on protecting data and value, developing and data analytics. Throughout the day, photo booths were used to drive social media attention for a #ThinkTechThinkPink fund raising campaign. As a result, over $3,000 was raised and donated to BreastCancer.org on behalf of VU Women in Tech.
