“I found out about RockIT Women through a Grace Hopper Event being held at UofL. Since then I have been able to connect with numerous women in tech and even gain mentorship through the program. It is very important for women to have a space where they feel comfortable and empowered, and RockIT women is doing just that.”

"I joined RockIT Women to be a part of a program that promotes women in technology in our community by offering networking, a forum to exchange ideas, create new professional relationships and support career goals of others. It is important to me to help women achieve their career goals. I have also made some wonderful friendships along the way. "

“It is hard to summarize why we joined RockIT Women and why it is so important to the Louisville community... The Information Technology industry is one of the fastest growing globally and there is a large gap in the female representation in IT; it is a largely male dominated field. Through RockIT Women, we can empower emerging professionals to pursue a path focused on technology. Being part of this community is more than being a “member”, it is surrounding yourself with people that care about your success just as much as their own and share a common goal to grow this community year over year. I look forward to making more connections and being part of this group!”

"As a newer Louisville resident, RockIT has been a fantastic way for me to build connections in the community, whilst aligning to a topic that I am very passionate about. When I first experienced the RockIT conference, I was blown away. Not only by the size, scale of the event, but also by how much I learnt. This is an incredible network of thought leaders within the technology space that anybody currently in, or looking to get into IT can learn a lot from."
