ABOUT THE EVENT:

How do you figure out the next step on your career path? What do you do when you're the only woman in the room evangelizing your product? How do you overcome implicit bias in technology?

These are just some of the questions professional women ask themselves as they try to navigate the world of product management, marketing and user experience in the technology industry. Our panel of professionals will discuss their experiences as they faced a variety of these challenging situations.

This will be our second of a three-part storytelling series where seasoned professionals discuss topics focused on their experiences towards career success in the product field. The topic discussion will be followed by a Q&A session and casual networking. Light food and refreshments will be served.
