Recently, a group of our students attended the WomenETC. conference at the Richmond Convention Center. Women ETC. is organized by RichTech’s Women in Technology Forum. This event provides professional development, education, and collaboration amongst participants by bringing premier speakers from across the nation. The RichTech Women In Technology Forum is designed to provide networking, mentoring and educational opportunities for women involved at all levels of technology centric businesses or organizations. The mission of the forum is to be a catalyst in growing the interest of science, technology, math and engineering among today’s young women.
