With all its horrific challenges, an unforeseen upside of COVID is that it forced us to enter a global village. Astonishingly, it opened doors for us in ways we couldn’t have imagined … created opportunities to expand our horizons. Women around the globe were called upon to use our ingenuity and re-harness technology … to create workarounds … and discover new and better ways of doing things.
So come share your talents and triumphs at WITI this June — and let us CELEBRATE INGENUITY!
The WITI (Women In Technology International) 27th Annual Summit — a virtual event to be held June 22-24, 2021 — will feature insights, inspirations, and action items from tech-savvy women worldwide.

Carolyn Leighton Scholarship to attend WITI’s 27th Annual Global Summit
Carolyn Leighton Scholarships have been established to honor the vision of Carolyn Leighton and her work in building out this global sisterhood over the last 30 years.
Through this scholarship, WITI hopes to provide exposure to young leaders – women in tech and male allies – to current industry conversations and give access to relatable role models. Financial ability shouldn’t be a deterrent to women’s careers and hence, by providing an avenue for women to build relationships with fellow women in tech, we are taking a step towards realizing Carolyn’s vision of ‘No woman stands alone‘.
This year, students in APAC will receive a 100% scholarship to attend WITI’s 27th Annual Global Summit through the Carolyn Leighton Scholarships. Learn more and apply at: witi.com/scholarships
