WICT offers women in the cable and telecommunications industry an opportunity to establish long-term business relationships by collaborating with some of the most accomplished leaders the region.  This year’s Tech-it-Out highlighted trends in the tech sector, included networking activities, and featured outstanding keynote speakers including Joan Gillman, EVP and Chief Operating Officer of Time Warner Cable Media Services, Susan Sher, former Chief of Staff to Michelle Obama, and Myrna Soto, Chief Security Officer for Comcast.

 

This year, the Tech-it-Out event invited a large number of STEM students from local high schools.  The students each had their own industry ambassador who served as their mentor for the day.  The event seeks attendance from high school and college students who are interested in technology-based careers, and KidsTek students were thrilled to be given the opportunity.  Attendees Alexandra Palma and Bibiana Piña from Adams City High School both stated that the event was both interesting and fun, and they were excited to receive very nice backpacks that each student was given at the end of the event.  

 

A huge thank you to the Tech-it-Out Student Outreach Chair, Keely Buchanan of Time Warner Cable, for organizing this and providing such a memorable experience for KidsTek students!
