Women, Wine & Tech 6.0: Social Innovation Summit – Reimagining Our Future

“An Evening of Inspiration, Connection & Action”

Date: May 30, 2025

Location: UWM Wisconsin Room - 3rd level of the Student Union

Join us for an unforgettable evening of networking, food, drinks, music, and thought-provoking conversations at Women, Wine & Tech 6.0: Social Innovation Summit! In a rapidly changing tech landscape, this is your opportunity to gain the insights, connections, and support you need to lead with purpose under a new administration.

We’ll discuss:

The Shifting Hands of Power: How new policies may impact the tech industry—and how can we make our voices heard and advocate for a more inclusive future?

Rebuilding Our Table: With DEI initiatives under fire, how do we build sustainable, equitable spaces where all women in tech can thrive? We’ll explore actionable strategies for fostering belonging, addressing systemic inequities, and demanding accountability.

Prioritizing Ourselves: Learn strategies for stress management, resilience, and mental health in a changing environment.
