2017 NCWIT Summit Rewind

2017 NCWIT Summit: Rewind

One month ago, educators, entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and social scientists from across industries and disciplines (both men and women) participated in the 2017 NCWIT Summit — the world’s largest, annual convening of change leaders focused on addressing underrepresentation in computing through research-based approaches.

Three exhilarating days of change-leading conversation at the JW Marriott Tucson Starr Pass Resort & Spa seemed to come and go so quickly! Pause, and rewind the abundance of unforgettable videos, presentations, photos, and commentary that we archived. Get inspired, strengthen your change-leading efforts, and we will see you at next year’s Summit in Grapevine, Texas.
