About the event

The Women of the Cloud College Tour is dedicated to empowering women by fostering skill development, advancing careers, and highlighting their contributions in the tech industry. Through networking opportunities and mentorship, we aim to support the next generation of women executives while promoting diversity and inclusion in business, particularly for those historically marginalized in society.

Hosted at the University of Pittsburgh campus, this event will feature a keynote session, an interactive, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) session, and panel-style presentation, followed by a network event, and so much more.
