Women in MACH is a unique initiative within the MACH Alliance. It seeks to foster inclusivity and diversity, empower members through networking, enhance skill and career development, inspire leadership and advocate for gender equality.
This is delivered via three pillars: the Women in MACH Mentorship program, the inspirational EnlightenHER education curriculum, and local and global events.
Women in MACH 2024 will expand its focus to cater for women in junior management roles, building on two years of attendance by the most senior female leaders in tech.
Jasmin Guthmann, Executive Board Member for the MACH Alliance, explains: “In two incredibly short years, the growth of Women in MACH has been beyond extraordinary. Our goal this year is to spread this fire into the hearts and minds of younger women, so they can make more informed decisions about their careers.
“But the event is not just about female empowerment. Witnessing male and gender-diverse allies embrace our mission, has been truly inspiring. We have seen this in our mentorship program, and we are now expanding our reach and deepening our impact with local, focused events throughout the year to drive diversity and equality forward.”
From women in technology to allies, business leaders, stakeholders and diversity and inclusion specialists, Women in MACH 2024 will provide powerful, practical content that can change organizations and deliver positive results.
