Tech still has a long way to go when it comes to diversity, but that's exactly why events like this matter. Gals en Australia is hosting an evening to honour the impact of Latin & Hispanic women in tech, featuring a panel of Latin & Hispanic women building their careers in Australia.
If you're thinking about making the move into tech, this is a great chance to hear real stories, ask honest questions, and meet people who've navigated the same path. Whether you're already in the industry, considering a career transition, or just curious, this event offers a transparent look at navigating the industry and a chance to build meaningful community connections.
