About this event

We all have the power and the responsibility to impact the future of technology and society, with AI as a major part of shaping our world. What will that future look like? And how will we build it? We can use our skills, creativity, and passion to create positive change and solve the problems that matter to us and our communities. We can also inspire the next generation of women in tech who will continue to impact the future with their ideas and innovations.

This year, IWD Kigali is organizing an International Women's Day on the 9th of March with the theme: Impact the Future. During the event, we will contemplate on what we are working on to make a difference in the world. How are we using our skills and talents to create a better future for all?

There will be different sessions on different tracks including AI/ML, Android, Flutter, web, and more. Join us as we dream big and bold as we Impact the future. 

Call for Paper starts on 1st Feb: https://sessionize.com/iwd-kigali-2024/
