Several weeks ago, NCWIT launched the first-ever NCWIT Conversations for Change: an online thought leadership series. The debut series of events occurred between May 4 and June 4, 2020, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in research-based recommendations and peer-to-peer discussions to further their efforts in creating inclusive cultures for girls and women in computing.

Exhilarating weeks of being in the Zoom where change happened seemed to come and go so quickly! Pause, and rewind the abundance of unforgettable moments that we archived. And, get inspired to continue the conversation online.
