WSIS Prizes Contest 2021 Nominee

The WOW Dinner


Description

The WOW Dinner is part of an inspirational global series of networking events taking place around the globe, aims at promoting diversity and the empowerment of women in tech and related industries.

We connected over 1000 women and attendees left our dinners with multiple clients and valuable connections. We work with big global events and big reliable partners. We support other causes and we managed during the covid to collect laptops for innercity kids, arranged a partnership between one of the largest supermarkets and the foodbank. In Canada we supported a foodbank and an indigenous cause.

We give students free access to our dinners and we encourage them to engage with the rest of our attendees.
