Explore how women can move beyond simply delivering excellent work to ensuring their contributions are recognised and valued.
Why this matters for Senior Leaders and Managers
Delivering great work is essential to career success, but in today’s technology industry, it is not always enough. The ability to make your contributions visible, communicate your impact, and build confidence in your expertise can play a critical role in career progression.
Research highlights a persistent visibility gap, in which women are less likely to promote their achievements, advocate for their capabilities, or make their impact known than their male counterparts. Despite delivering strong results, many women may hesitate to speak openly about their successes due to workplace expectations, cultural norms around confidence and modesty, or concerns that self-promotion may be perceived negatively.
For women working in technology, an industry where visibility, influence, and leadership presence are increasingly important, developing the confidence to own and communicate achievements is a valuable career skill.
What will we explore?
Seen, Heard and Valued: Building 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.
