What Kinds of Topics Are Covered at WITS?

The Spring event covers broad ground from a fireside chat involving women's responsibilities to future generations to machine learning kits and protecting organizational assets. The conferences intersperse personal growth topics among hardcore tech topics, which sets it apart from the more traditional industry events that focus solely on tech.
