Women are underrepresented in the technology sector, and Hoosier Women in Tech (HooWiT) is working hard to effectively address these challenges on a local level.

HooWiT is a new monthly forum bringing local women in tech and tech-related fields together with women in technology-related majors at Indiana University and Ivy Tech Bloomington. These monthly events aim to encourage women working in local tech companies to network with each other, STEM-focused students to learn about tech careers from local women in tech, and tech companies to be able to meet these bad***es who may have skills needed in their companies.

October’s meetup will feature Lauren Rosner, Senior Project Manager at Hanapin Marketing. Lauren has become a leading expert in, among other things, the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence in the pay-per-click industry and how AI is changing digital marketing. At Hanapin Marketing, Lauren provides strategic support for enterprise accounts, coordinates department-wide training, and provides scalable structural solutions to Hanapin’s account management teams.

Here’s what Lauren will be speaking on:

The Story You Tell is the Story You Sell

• How to manage up: going after the raise, promotion, or recognition by telling your story to the people that need to hear it
• Why data doesn’t cut it: data alone does not prove anything to clients/partners. We have to sell it.
• Changing your narrative: we can write our own story and change our story to be the version of ourselves we need to be in that moment.
  

Lauren will speak on October 7th at 5:30pm at Dimension Mill in Bloomington during its Mill Week celebration. This event is FREE. Register for a ticket here.
