Instead of hosting the usual 250 attendees for 15+ breakout sessions in Chicago, this year, the GirlCon team welcomed over 730 attendees to engage in more than 30 sessions. We gathered girls from over 30 different countries, and every single one brought passion and excitement.
GirlCon Digital 2020 finally came to life last week and was nothing short of spectacular. While the conference did not look like we’d imagined after 6 months of Zoom calls with speakers, late night team meetings, frantic emails, and color-coordinated spreadsheets, we could not be more grateful that we were able to make the conference virtual and invite so many girls to share in GirlCon’s inspiration.
It was truly an honor to plan and host this conference. I enjoyed every minute of the connection and inspiration that each session and keynote speaker sparked. Thank you to everyone who participated this year. The empowerment, networking, and interest that have all taken place this week would not have been possible without you.
I can’t wait to see the magic of GirlCon Chicago continue to empower young women to pursue their goals in technology.
