The Opportunity Gap: Honest Conversations About What Has to Change
The patterns that determine who advances in technology careers don't start at the director level. They start early, in who gets the stretch assignment, who gets invited into the room, who gets credited for the idea, and who gets passed over so quietly they don't even know it happened. And they continue throughout a career, shaping who gets seen, who gets considered, and who gets the opportunity to lead.
Whether you are two years into your technology career or twenty, you have likely felt the gap. Whether you are a leader making advancement decisions or an ally who wants to change the conditions around you, you have a role in closing it.
This WIT Forum brings together women at every stage of a technology career and the leaders and allies who champion them to have the conversation that usually happens in two separate rooms. Because the opportunity gap doesn't close when one side of the table works alone. It gets closed when everyone in the room decides to act.
This is not a session about what women need to do differently. It is an honest look at where the gap starts, what keeps it in place, and what individuals, leaders, and organizations can do right now to narrow it.
Why attend:
- Understand where the opportunity gap starts and why it persists at every career stage
- Gain practical insight you can apply whether you are early in your career, mid-career, or leading others
- Hear candid perspectives from leaders on how advancement decisions actually get made
- Leave with specific actions whether you are navigating the gap yourself or working to close it for others
- Connect with a cross-industry community of women and allies committed to making technology careers work for everyone
Panelists Include:
- Jasmine Grant - Head of Treasury Solutions Technology, Truist Bank
- Ryan Radding - SVP, North America Financial Services, Salesforce
- Kanyatta Walker - Co-Founder & CEO, Elon Consulting
