“To hold up three great role models, with balanced lives in which science and engineering is an integral part, has a very positive impact. It is important for women technologists to be able to feel that they can be in technology and be themselves as a whole person, and this event reinforces that,” said one 2007 Women of Vision attendee.
This year’s event is being held on May 8, 2008 at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, California. Don’t miss Diane Greene — President, CEO, and co-founder of VMware — who will be giving the keynote.
