Women Trailblazers in Web3

Event Details

Statistical data shows women's representation is still relatively low compared to men in web3, especially in leadership roles. Given we are still at the forefront of this exciting new industry, what opportunities for women currently exist, and how can we empower women to become part of the innovation and growth of Web3? In this fireside chat, our speakers will share how they navigate the challenges of being a leader in a male-dominated industry, and why it is important to increase women's representation. It will be followed by networking opportunities to expand your web3 connections.
