ARA Chicago

The conversation about attracting, retaining, and advancing women in technology is not one that can be had in isolation, especially when organizations large and small are feeling the effect of talent shortages. During this panel, male leaders from different facets of the Chicago technology community, will share their perspective on what is necessary for women to play a more significant role

ARA Chicago, in partnership with the Illinois Technology Association, is pleased to share the details of our next Women in Technology Career and Mentorship Forum — a speed networking event. Special thanks to Ifbyphone for donating their space, which was recently featured on Chicago Creative Space, highlighting its cool arrangement and unique connection to company culture.

The evening is designed to help attendees learn and understand what career options exist within IT, as well as other areas that directly impact IT, and will offer ample opportunity for questions, learning, and networking.

With special thanks to our event sponsor, Fieldglass, and in partnership with Illinois Technology Association (ITA), our next event will feature a panel discussion comprised of current female executives in IT, those who started in IT (coding!) and worked their way up to the C-Suite in an operations role outside of IT, and someone who is at the Chief Marketing Officer level who works in technology/partners with technology.
