“Our upcoming CareerNAV event features panel sessions, (job) speed dating and networking elements presenting women a unique opportunity. This is a fabulous chance to meet with companies actively looking to recruit women’s talent across all facets of their business,” coordinator Rigved P. Joshi said.

Check-in and networking time will start at 5:30 p.m. Panel discussions at 6 p.m. will review “Early Career in Tech” and “Female Tech Leadership.” At 7 p.m., participants can pursue Job Speed Dating; Recruiter eet and Greet; Networking; and taking photographs in the headshots booth.

During the panel discussions, the “Early Career in Tech” session will feature a panel of young and successful professionals in technology who will share insights and stories about getting their journey started.

The ‘early career’ moderator will be Madison Travis with Intuitive Research & Technology. Panel speakers will be Morgan Hodgson, SAIC; Cayla Phillips, Accenture; Anna Shipman, NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center; and Liv Weaver, Intuitive Research and Technology. The target audience includes students and individuals in early years of their career.
