Ladies in Tech Network Summit and Book Launch: Building Careers Not Meant for Us

March 21, 2026 | Towson, Maryland

The Ladies in Tech & Friends Network Summit & Book Launch is more than an event — it’s an experience designed to connect, inspire, and elevate women who are building powerful careers in spaces where we are still underrepresented.

This one-day summit celebrates the release of Ladies in Tech & Friends: Volume 4 – Building Careers Not Meant for Us, while bringing together women from technology and other traditionally male-dominated industries for meaningful connection, real conversations, and shared growth.

Whether you are early in your career, navigating leadership, or paving the way for others, this summit was created with you in mind.

A Networking Summit Designed for Connection & Community

At its core, this summit is about connection.

You will be in the room with women who understand the challenges of navigating male-dominated fields — and who are committed to supporting, collaborating, and growing together. This is not surface-level networking. It’s intentional, relationship-driven connection that creates opportunities long after the event ends.

Attendees will engage with:

  • Seasoned professionals and leaders across industries
  • Women who are breaking barriers and building influence
  • Authors and contributors from Volume 4
  • Entrepreneurs, executives, and emerging leaders

 

Expect authentic conversations, shared experiences, and the kind of networking that feels natural, energizing, and empowering.
