Join technology professionals and leaders to celebrate the people and practices that help great work be seen, heard and valued.
)
Hear how technology professionals and leaders make contributions visible, recognise others and support career growth.
Why this matters for Senior Leaders and Managers
Technology careers grow when good work is recognised and people can share its impact. Seen, Heard and Valued brings together women, leaders and allies to celebrate examples of visibility done well and explore how to make those practices more common.
Speakers will draw on their own experiences of communicating achievements, advocating for colleagues and creating opportunities for others to contribute. The focus is on practical approaches that feel authentic to the people using them and recognise the teams behind the work.
Attendees can take ideas into everyday conversations, from describing their contribution to giving credit in meetings and helping colleagues access new opportunities.
What will we explore?
Seen, Heard and Valued: Celebrating Visibility in Technology Careers will explore how women can move beyond simply delivering excellent work to ensuring their contributions are recognised and valued. The event will provide practical insights on building career visibility, communicating impact authentically, and developing confidence while remaining true to personal values and leadership style.
The session will feature a keynote exploring the visibility gap and its impact on career progression, followed by an interactive panel discussion with technology leaders sharing personal experiences, lessons learned, and practical strategies for increasing influence and recognition.
The event will conclude with drinks and networking, providing an opportunity for attendees to continue conversations, build connections, and share experiences with peers across the technology community.
