TW ’23 sees retooled Cultural and Leadership Workshops

As the TechWomen 2023 U.S. program takes flight, several workshops have seen innovations and reimagination for the historic Chicago expansion pilot. The Cultural Workshop has been reenvisioned from what was traditionally a cultural showcase event into a competency-building workshop, which was led this year by facilitators from Intercultural Communication Edge (ICEdge) Nancy Buchan in Chicago and Wendi Adair In San Francisco. The Leadership Workshop, meanwhile underwent a technological innovation, serving as a first-of-its-kind simulcast, hybrid event, seamlessly hosted by program partner Chime in both San Francisco and Chicago. The event featured mentors Samantha Raniere, who led the Clifton StrengthsFinder workshop, and Beth Steinberg and Samantha Krause of Chime, who served as keynote speakers. ​
