On Sunday, IIE welcomed the arrival of the 2018 cohort of 100 Emerging Leaders from 20 countries. This year’s Emerging Leaders will join TechWomen’s network of nearly 300 Professional Mentors, Cultural Mentors and Impact Coaches – and an alumnae community of 518 fellows and 700 mentors – as they embark on five weeks of mentorship and professional exchange.
This year’s 34 host companies include Twitter, Salesforce and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub; the program is also welcoming eight new host companies, including 23andMe, Shell, PlanGrid and Twitch.
TechWomen’s first week of programming includes the Cultural Kickoff, where Emerging Leaders will showcase the rich culture of their home countries, as well as Action Plan Workshop 1, where country teams will establish the foundation of their action plans alongside their Impact Coaches. Follow along as we provide updates on Twitter, Instagram, and the TechWomen blog.
