Women who bring diverse academic backgrounds, strong analytical thinking, and interdisciplinary problem‑solving
Undergraduates who value mission‑driven employers committed to equity, innovation, and inclusive workplaces
Talent from Forté’s national network of member schools, representing a broad range of geographies, identities, and experiences

This event gives employers early access to women who are building the skills, confidence, and professional readiness to thrive in tech‑enabled roles.
