Tech Up For Women Conference Goes Virtual With Panels, Webinars, and Networking



The male-dominated tech industry will see a change in the future because more women are getting involved with technology. Women have been scarce in the tech industry for the past few decades, but avenues are opening up for them. The global Tech Up for Women Conference is an all-day event to help women advance their careers by hearing experts speak about the future of tech and connecting with other women in the tech business. “This event started with a woman who said she wanted to learn new technology to advance her career,” said Dawn Pratt, Tech Up For Women’s founder and managing partner. The Tech Up for Women organization is also a larger platform that hosts career and recruitment fairs and conducts the Tech Up Talks webinar series, which is focused on helping women advance their tech knowledge. “Technology is constantly growing and is an important factor to career growth,” said Pratt, “the mission of Tech Up for Women was to spread the belief that knowledge of tech is critical for every career journey”.

The conference will be virtually streamed from New York on Tuesday, November 16th from 9:30am — 6:30pm ET and registration is open to all genders. Keynote speakers include Jessica Jensen, the current CMO at Indeed and Sabina Ewing, who used to work at Pfizer in an IT position before moving on to becoming the Vice President of Business and Technology Services at Abbott. Discussions cover, among other topics, the growth of AI, digital health, cyber security, and career advancements in tech. Attendees have a wide variety of panels to choose from, including “Where is Digital Health Going?,” with Barbara Salami, VP of Moderna; “Engineering Innovations” with Kristen Kavanaugh & Valerie Workman from Tesla, “How technologists & nonprofits can partner to deliver lasting impact” with Jen Carter, Product Manager from Google, and The Power of Mentorship to Build Next-Gen Tech Leaders” with Michelle Crossan-Matos, SVP Chief Marketing & Communications Officer & Seth Brown from Samsung Electronics America. Attendees will also have the option to attend breakout rooms, where they can go more in depth with panelists as they discuss different topics. Lastly, Tech Up for Women has a virtual network expo for people to make new connections from 4–7 pm on January 13th 2022, which gives people a great chance to advance their careers and get advice on what companies are looking for. If you’re a woman who is interested in working in the consumer electronics industry or technology in general, or just want to improve your tech know-how or advance your career, this event could be a great opportunity to hear advice from experts and peers who have been through it already.

Capitalizing on the Wearable Turnover

While   smartphones   have traditionally led the way when it comes to   connected devices , the rapid rise of   hearables   and wearables and their growing popularity amongst tech savvy consumers is widening the breadth of consumer connected devices. According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), in 2021 the wearables market grew 20 percent year over year with total shipments reaching 533 million units.  With more hearable and wearable product options being introduced to the  market  at a variety of price points, retailers can offer customers more opportunities to  upgrade  to the next generation of smart watches, fitness trackers, earbuds, etc. It’s a great time to begin cultivating the secondary device ecosystem for these devices, using the thriving trade-in market for smartphones as the blueprint for capturing the latent value in pre-owned products while providing incentives for customers to upgrade to new devices.   Factors  Driving Market Growth    The growth in the hearab

1MORE EVO’s Hi-Fi Audio

  If COVID-19 taught us anything, it’s our need to stay connected. Our workplace and lives shifted online, and technology adapted to our demands: Zoom took center stage;   computers   improved; we bought ring lights and headphones; we spent more time texting and on social media. We all learned how to stay connected to the world by connecting to our  technology .

That’s where 1MORE EVO earbuds come into play. 1MORE EVO headphones deliver H-Fi sound with adaptive active noise cancellation (ANC), so users can stay connected to the world and comes equipped with six mics for those still working over   zoom .   How It Works:   As I unboxed the 1MORE EVO headphones, I was shocked at its ability to balance the aesthetic with the informational. Sketches of the headphones and its various features artistically coat the box’s interior but ev

How Retailers Can Capitalize on the Inflation Reduction Act

  In 2021,   EV   sales totaled   6.6 million or 8.6 percent  of all new car sales and that number is only expected to increase over the coming years after the   Inflation Reduction Act  was signed into law earlier this month. The new measure features funding for over 500,000 new EV chargers and provides a slew of incentives for customers and manufacturers alike. The target of the new legislature is to get more low-income consumers into electric vehicles to increase mass adoption of the cars and to buck the image of EVs as unobtainable luxury vehicles. California, one of the states on the forefront of pushing for EV adaptation has a program awarding low-income customers nearly $17,500 towards purchasing a used EV.  The Inflation Reduction Act is the first step in the Biden administration’s goal of reaching half of all new cars sold being electric by 2030. While EVs are becoming increasingly popular in states such as California and Massachusetts, progress is lacking across much of middl
