About this Event
✨ What
Welcome to Women in Digital: Inspired Conversations! Join us for an in-conversation / fireside-style chat exploring squiggly careers and building a career in technology without a traditional tech background. In a world reshaped by disruption, unknowns and global trends out of your control, career advancement demands more than expertise, it requires adaptability, bold self-advocacy and strategic visibility. Uncertainty is no longer a barrier, uncertainty can be an opening.
Those who invest in relationships, embrace change and lead with purpose don't just survive turbulent times, they rise through them.
Special thanks to Cisco for hosting this event.

About Women in Digital
Women in Digital is a global community supporting women at all stages of their careers in digital and technology. Our mission is to create access, visibility, and opportunity for women navigating careers in tech - particularly those who may not come from traditional or technical backgrounds.
Our audience includes:
- Women transitioning into technology and digital roles
- Professionals navigating non-linear (“squiggly”) career paths
- Women building confidence, skills, and leadership capability in tech
- Allies and leaders committed to inclusive career pathways
We focus on honest conversations, practical insight, and real career stories—especially those that challenge the idea of a single, linear path to success.
