Why Women Who Tech

• Women are Underrepresented

  
  Some of the most gifted folks in technology are women yet they are rarely quoted as experts by the mainstream media and blogs. Furthermore women are significantly underrepresented on panels at major technology conferences.

• To Break Down Barriers

  
  The TeleSummit aims to break down the barriers and showcase the brilliant talents of women who tech out.

• To Mobilize a Network of Women

  
  One of our long term goals is to create a database of women technology experts to be used as a resource for the media and tech conference organizers. This database will not only provide a strong network of women in the technology sector but support the creative talents and energies of women who thrive in this arena.
