Join us for the 2nd Annual Women in Tech Summit hosted by Toast, a full-day event dedicated to uplifting and empowering women in the tech industry. Designed to celebrate and honour the achievements of women, this summit aims to provide a supportive environment where attendees can network, learn, and grow together.
Featuring a lineup of industry leaders and inspiring speakers, the Women in Tech Summit will delve into essential topics such as venture capital, women entrepreneurs, and leadership in the tech sector. Through insightful discussions, interactive workshops, and engaging panels, we will explore the unique experiences and challenges faced by women in this dynamic field.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned tech professional, or simply passionate about advancing gender equality in tech, this summit offers an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, gain valuable insights, and leave feeling empowered to make a lasting impact.
There’s no place like home: surround yourself with women ready to upend the tech industry.
The Toast Summit is the opposite of draining: fill your plate with insights and leave no crumbs.
Changing what’s in place isn’t always possible: we’ll explore when to burn it down and rebuild from the ground up.
Whether you’re a recruiter seeking to hire more women in tech, a founder looking to build out your tech team, an established techie, or tech-curious. The Toast Summit is the safe space to ask the tough questions and foster new connections.
Want to attend the Toast Summit but need an extra nudge for that expense account approval from your boss? Hit the button below to download some info that you can send to your boss that will make them smile (and maybe even dance) as they approve your request. Psst, we can do the same for memberships too!
Exceptional speakers from the tech industry will share their expertise on topics such as pivoting, upskilling & career growth, neuroinclusion, self-care, burn-out and the new age of AI.
We understand that many potential attendees might be mothers who are interested in the topics but may find it difficult to attend because they have young children who need supervision. We decided to set up a free Childcare lounge to make the event more accessible to mothers. 16% of attendees used this lounge last year.
Have you ever been at a Conference and thought, "I just need 10 minutes in a dark, silent room"? Yea, us too. So we've created an anti-stim room for those who need some time to recharge throughout the day. Featuring tea & coffee, dimmed lights, calming music, comfy seating, colouring books, anxiety-reducing toys and relaxing scents.
Recharge and reconnect in between sessions. We incorporate stretch breaks and a mindfulness session so attendees can maintain their energy throughout the day.
We aim to amplify voices of all individuals that are not equally represented in male-dominated systems. We created a market where attendees can shop-local, woman+ owned businesses on the day of the event.
Create meaningful connections with other women in tech and organizations who are ready to upend the tech industry. Share experiences, support one another, and collaborate on groundbreaking ideas in a nurturing environment.
Calgary is the ideal city to host our Women in Tech Summit due to its budding tech ecosystem, which is rapidly gaining recognition as a hub for innovation and growth. Despite this progress, women remain underrepresented in Calgary tech companies, making our summit a crucial platform to amplify their voices and promote inclusivity.
Platform Calgary has a supportive community, combined with a wealth of resources and opportunities for tech innovators. The Platform venue serves as the perfect backdrop for fostering connections and driving change in the tech space.
As a sponsor of Toast, you will have the opportunity to showcase your commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity in the tech industry. By supporting women in tech through our events, you can elevate your brand as a thought leader and ally to underrepresented groups.
