This International Women’s Day, Tenthouse and Coffee is shedding light on the barriers that women face as they enter or navigate the workforce. The first step is building awareness and the next step is breaking them down – and we need women and allies to do both.

If you identify as a woman, it’s critical to understand what barriers you may encounter and the proven tactics you can use to overcome them – spoiler alert, sponsorship is key! As an ally, you have the power to actively call out bias when you see it and be a champion in the fight to break the mould.

This event features a diverse line up of speakers representing Women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ perspectives. Join Christine Silva (Shopify), Emma Mohns (Kinaxis) and CEO and Co-Founder Dave Wilkin to hear about the tactics these women used to navigate and succeed in their career. They will also highlight the role allyship played in their success and share the tools and tricks that other allies can leverage to build inclusive environments.

What are you waiting for? Sign up today and save your seat!
