Women in Tech 2015: event in Helsinki

An interesting event on Women in Tech is taking place in the current days 5.-9.10.2015 at the Fair Centre of Helsinki (Messukeskus). You can find the programme of the event at this link.

There is also a live streaming going on here (and I guess they will make videos available later). You can follow the discussion also on Facebook or on Twitter by the hashtags #WIT15 #womenintechFI.

Congrats to our fellow women in tech who keep up the discussion on gender equality!
