The list of problems is well-known: A financial crisis. Climate disruption. Energy geopolitics. Food supply hazards. What they show is that we're all connected, today like never before: economically, socially and technically. When a crisis occurs on one part of the planet, it can bring problems to another part, within days or even hours. Yet this challenge is also an opportunity, and now is the time to seize it. People around the world are ready for change. And the planet is ready for it, too. Algorithms and powerful systems can analyze and turn those mountains of data into actual decisions and actions that make the world work better. Smarter.

It's rare for any of us to thrive on our own. Not just the need for intimate partners or romance; this is about a solid support system to aid the personal and professional life of a career woman like you. The most successful women have identified and developed such circles to aid their success. The aim of networking is to develop and maintain relationships—something women are naturally good at in their personal lives but not so great at when it comes to their careers. Think of networking as sharing: time, information, resources, opportunities. AWTAustin’s Women’s Exchange Forum (WEF) provides its members with a unique networking opportunity to meet and forge friendships with women from the Austin technology community.
