An equal world is an enabled world, and we each have the power to evoke change—through our behaviors, values, and mindsets. But together, our collective action can fuel a revolutionary transformation to a more gender-equal world.

Please join RTI International, Lenovo, and Randstad for the first RTP International Women’s Day Forum. This event will address the challenge of breaking bias against women in the arena of science and technology. Keynote speaker Sue Harnett, founder and president of Rewriting the Code, will address preparing college and early-career women to advance in tech. Two panel sessions will follow, exploring the opportunities and challenges related to technology as an equalizer and why equal representation in science and technology matters.
