GDG Burnaby IWD 2024 - Impact the Future

event date

23 Mar 2024

location

Northeastern University Vancouver, Canada

We all have the power and the responsibility to impact the future of technology and society, with AI as a major part of shaping our world.

What will that future look like? And how will we build it? We can use our skills, creativity and passion to create positive change and solve the problems that matter to us and our communities. We can also inspire the next generation of women in tech who will continue to impact the future with their own ideas and innovations.

As we celebrate IWD 2024, we encourage you and your community to reflect on the following questions: What are you working on that will make a difference in the world? How are you using your skills and talents to create a better future for all? Ultimately, we can dream big and be bold when we “Impact the Future”

How will you “Impact the Future” this International Women’s Day?
The theme "Impact the Future" for Women Techmakers International Women's Day Campaign for 2024 is a call to action for women in tech to impact the future of technology and society for the better.

For the future of technology, AI has the potential to solve some of the most pressing challenges we face. However, it is important to ensure that AI is developed and used in a responsible and ethical manner. Women in tech can play a key role in ensuring that AI is used for good.
