The day after the IT event Be Your Own IT SuperHero We did it again! More than 100 beautiful people visited our yearly IT event Be Your Own IT SuperHero on September 28th. What we are doing in the Netherlands, in IT, is unique. I heard a lot from visitors that they never got to an IT event that was so diverse and inclusive on all levels, from the level of IT professionals to the cultural diversity. This shows that there is a need for these types of IT events. It’s been amazing to see families come together, feel the energy, meet inspiring speakers and workshop leaders and learn more about different IT and non-IT topics like AI-driven security, Robotics and junkbots, Crypto, 3D printing, Cybersecurity essentials, How to get a non-tech role in Tech and From work stress to work success. The Fireside chat with Miljorha Martin about her reskilling to Cybersecurity was also good catch. Visitors liked it! A huge thank you to all visitors, our speakers, workshop leaders, moderators, sponsors, supporters, the saxophonist and the ZVVT team. You were amazing! This makes me even more excited for what’s ahead with our upcoming events: https://zvvt.nl/events/.  I am still pinching myself. When shall I wake up from this beautiful dream?  Marianne Dorder-ServetFounder Zwarte vrouwen voor Technologie Thank you: Kristle de Freitas Patricio Miljorha Martin Ryan Weibolt The Extra Mile Community BV StartupAmsterdam Quincy Dalh Igneta Skliaustyte Lea Belfor Selina Thompson Ing.

We did it again! We presented a well received line-up of divers women speakers and bring together 60 people, especially women of colour from different backgrounds with interests in IT. Within 1 year and for the third time in a row we pull it off to bring primairly Black women together to talk about IT and digitization. When I started this organization I couldn’t imagine that at every IT event we would reach and gathered at least 80% new people that are interested in IT and what we offer. This third event was also again very well rated. The organization, the quality of the speakers and the topics that we talked about, scored very well. Thank you team ZVVT Miljorha Martin, Kristle de Freitas Patricio and Kimberly Fuqua, our amazing speakers Vanessa Engelhart, Cindy Steward, Ajuna Soerjadi, Ornella Friggit-Konaté, Ruth Osei-Agyeman and Denise O.. our ZVVT community and the sponsors The Extra Mile Community and Flexxes. Without your help I could not delivered! Enjoy the aftermovie! Marianne Dorder-ServetFounder Zwarte vrouwen voor Technologie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SF4Pf3UEgI
