Chief in Tech Tracks & Topics

Leadership & Company
Culture

Leaders have a significant influence on the culture of their organizations. They establish the agenda, prioritize tasks, manage, lead, and inspire. What influences and motivates them? How do they set the vision and provide purpose for the team? The discussions will focus on leadership, cultural fit, D&I, talent, equal pay, generation gap, workforce reintegration, employer branding, hiring and more.

Breaking
The Glass Ceiling

What is the current state of female leadership in tech? How are women in tech leading the dialogue on social justice in their own companies? What strategies are companies using to increase diversity and drive retention? What are some of the biggest roadblocks women face when working in the industry? How can companies create a more inclusive work environment so that women can advance in their careers?

Society,
Sustainability & Impact

This track discusses the impact of technology on society & nature, how technology can be used for good, and how tech is changing the world for the better. Some of the topics we will focus on are climate change, renewable energy, global warming, education, mobility ethics and data governance and protection. We will also talk about UN sustainability goals, ethics in AI, cybersecurity and more.

Survive & Thrive
During Challenging Times

It is a critical time in the Tech industry for C-Suite leaders. Tech companies are transforming rapidly, and it can be a challenge to keep up with the pace of change. How do senior executives navigate these shifting waters? How do they make important decisions, manage crises and maintain their job satisfaction during challenging times?

Navigating The C-Suite
As a Working Mother

The demands of motherhood are challenging enough. But how do mothers navigate the C-Suite as they deal with the challenges of work and family? Women, who manage dual working-parenting roles often face additional obstacles and emotional strain as they pursue their ambitions, such as maintaining work-life balance and dealing with gender bias and discrimination in the workplace. Join us as we discuss how you can juggle your professional and personal lives while working in the C Suite. We will also talk about strategies for success, maintaining work-life balance, and overcoming obstacles.

Management &
Digital Transformation

It is the responsibility of company leaders to recognize how emerging technologies are transforming business practices and to lead their organization through this transition. Companies can no longer rely on old methods to keep up with the pace of innovation in technology and the rapid change in structures such as micros, flexible set-ups, remote workforces, hybrid & virtual teams, etc. This track discusses how to lead, manage, and develop digital transformation within your organization in order to innovate and drive awareness and adoption of your products while also creating more inclusive experiences.

Founders in Tech &
Entrepreneurship

Technology is constantly evolving, with emerging leaders and new companies that are creating impactful products. Tech founders play an integral part in the global economy, creating products that are changing our lives. Join the future champions to discuss the state of Tech entrepreneurship and how to overcome challenges.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion &
Allyship

Technology is a driving force in the world and despite making up more than half of the workforce, women and people from disadvantaged groups remain underrepresented in the technology industry. What are companies doing to improve diversity and drive retention? How can we build inclusive cultures that support equity for all employees? This track discusses how to advance women throughout their careers, ways people are leading the dialogue on social justice within their own companies, strategies that are being used to increase diversity & inclusion in tech, how #BlackLivesMatter is impacting hiring practices, workplace culture at organizations with strong female leadership, white privilege-systematic issues faced by women of color in tech due to lack of representation, and more.

The Path/Advancing to
the C-Suite

Tech companies are still largely male-dominated, and there are many barriers that women must overcome in order to move beyond middle management as a result making it challenging for women to advance to the C-suite. Join us as we discuss what you should be doing during your career to prepare yourself for the C-Suite, what steps you can take to accelerate your career and how you can stand out as a leader. We will also talk about the skills that you need to have, pitfalls that derail careers and strategies for success.

Moving Beyond the C-Suite,
life after the C-suite

What's next after the C-Suite? Tech leaders may be called upon to sit on boards, run for political office or promote social causes. Learn more about what C-Suite leaders are doing now and how their motivation has changed since they were at the helm of tech companies.
