Technical roles remain some of the most in-demand and rewarding career paths in today’s digital economy — yet many women still hesitate to take the leap. This webinar brings together women who have done exactly that.

At Breaking In & Building Forward, experienced female developers will share honest stories about how they started coding, the obstacles they faced, the breakthroughs that shaped their careers, and how women-focused communities supported their growth.

Whether you’re just curious about coding, currently learning, or already working in tech and looking to go deeper technically, this session is designed to leave you informed, inspired, and empowered.
