Taking place for the second year in a row, the Women in Tech Session was a tremendous success and offered women in all tech-based industries the chance to hear success and frustrations they had faced as women in tech from renowned entrepreneurs. They shared their recipes for getting results, as well as some failure stories – and tactics on learning from them! “There are opportunities for ladies to create amazing products. Take it to the next level. Strong women, strong economy. Let the girls play” said Mali Baum, CEO and Founding Partner at WLOUNGE | MAGDA GROUP.
