“Finding Your Way in Tech: Real Talk with Women Who’ve Done It", by Picnic: We know from experience how exciting, but sometimes overwhelming, it can be to navigate the professional world when you first step into it— especially as a young woman in tech. You might wonder: Who do you turn to for guidance? How do you set meaningful, achievable goals? How do you embrace challenges as opportunities for growth? It’s a journey full of questions, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. This is your chance to learn, connect, and get inspired by those who’ve been in your shoes. We can’t wait to see you there!

Salary Negotiations: Beyond the Raise: A Feminine Approach to Claiming Your Worth

Negotiating your first salary isn’t just about money — it’s about how you see yourself, what you believe you deserve, and how you express your value in a world that might try to define it for you.

In this empowering session, Sharon van Sprang — author of Beyond the Ceiling and founder of NewLeadersMovement — invites you to explore the deeper layers behind asking for more: your beliefs around money, your relationship with worth, and the role of authenticity in shaping your career from the start. Through a powerful blend of inner leadership tools, practical insights, and real talk, you’ll learn how to: Shift from “I’m lucky to be here” to “I belong here.” Re-frame limiting beliefs about value, visibility, and being “enough.” Explore the beliefs you carry around money, ambition, and asking for more. Because what you believe shapes what you receive. Discover how your authenticity is your greatest asset, not a liability. When you lead with who you truly are, you magnetise the right opportunities. This session isn’t about scripts or sales tricks. It’s about starting your career with self-trust and grounded power, so you don’t just get a job, you build a future that reflects your full potential.

Public speaking: Public speaking is one of the most valuable skills you can develop, yet it’s something many of us struggle with. Whether it’s speaking up in meetings, giving a presentation, or pitching an idea, the ability to communicate clearly and confidently can make all the difference. But how do you overcome nervousness? How do you engage your audience and make an impact? In this session, we’ll explore ways to turn public speaking from a fear into a strength. Our speakers will share real experiences, practical techniques, and tips to help you own your voice. Come ready to learn, practice, and gain the confidence to speak up when it matters most.

Inclusive Leadership: Leadership isn’t just about managing people—it’s about creating an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to succeed. But what does that actually look like in practice? How can you promote inclusivity and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in your professional world? In this workshop, we’ll explore what it means to be an inclusive leader, regardless of your title or career stage. Through shared experiences, key insights, and open discussion, you’ll gain tools to help foster a more equitable and supportive workplace. Whether you’re looking to step into leadership or simply want to make a positive impact in your team, this session is for you.
