"Break the Pattern"

Join us for Detroit International Women's Day Innovation Summit on Saturday, March 28th at Little Caesars Global Resource Center downtown for an energizing day of talks, workshops, and celebration dedicated to women in technology. Guided by Women Techmakers' 2026 global theme, "Break the Pattern," this summit will explore how women are disrupting traditional tech pathways, challenging systemic barriers, and creating new models for innovation—especially in AI, emerging technologies, and leadership.

Attendees will hear from local and international speakers about cutting-edge innovation, share bold strategies for dismantling outdated career trajectories in tech, and connect with peers who are equally passionate about championing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Hosted in partnership with Compass and GDG Detroit, this event is part of Women Techmakers' largest annual campaign and embodies the spirit of International Women's Day by spotlighting women's contributions and catalyzing conversations on transforming the technology landscape.

Expect a day filled with insightful panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and networking sessions, all designed to inspire participants to break free from limiting patterns, forge unconventional paths, and boldly reimagine what's possible when we challenge the status quo. We look forward to celebrating International Women's Day with you and fueling Michigan's tech community to shape a more inclusive, innovative tomorrow.

Breaking the pattern means creating new possibilities. Join us in Detroit as we rewrite the future of technology together.
