On April 28, 2016, TechLAB will host an event focused on Women Leaders in Technology. Our panel of women leaders, who have made their mark in the tech industry, will discuss the hurdles they faced on their journey to success and how their fight still continues. Following the panel discussion, five female led or founded startups will present their companies (five minute pitch/five minute Q&A). We will end the event with a wine & cheese reception to allow participants, presenters, investors, and spectators to network.
