Leading through Transformation: Women & Gender Minorities in Tech Luncheon

Wednesday, Nov 4 | 11:30AM - 1:00PM

Details

Please note: You must be registered to attend this luncheon — seats are limited and will fill quickly.

Every career has moments where you wonder how others do it: how they make big decisions, build influence, advocate for themselves and their teams, and keep showing up when things get hard. This luncheon is your chance to hear directly from Smartsheet leaders who've been there.

Join us for lunch and a fireside chat with Smartsheet senior leaders sharing their stories — the pivots, the lessons, and what it actually looks like to lead through a period of change. Then we’ll close by assembling learning-to-code kits together for students in under-resourced schools — putting technology tools in the hands of the next generation of young innovators. 

You'll leave with new connections, honest perspectives you can actually use, and a community of people who get what you're going through. Space is limited — this one fills up fast.

This event highlights the experiences of women and gender minorities in tech and welcomes everyone who wants to be part of that conversation.
