"Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them."

In celebration of International Women's Day (IWD), Google Developers Group Kolkata, in collaboration with Women Techmakers, invites you to embark on an empowering journey. Our annual event campaign, themed "Impact the Future," embraces the daring spirit of women in technology, urging them to defy norms and challenge the status quo. This year, we delve into the realm of how women how women can come forward and revolutionise the future with AI.

Imagine a world where women wield their skills, creativity, and passion to shape the future of technology and society. It's a world where AI serves as a catalyst for positive change, solving pressing global issues. However, with this power comes great responsibility. As we harness the potential of AI, it's imperative to ensure its development and usage adhere to ethical principles. Women in tech play a pivotal role in this endeavour, championing responsible and equitable AI practices that benefit all.

As we aspire to "Impact the Future" this International Women's Day, let's draw inspiration from those who paved the way before us. Consider the journey of Ada Lovelace, often hailed as the world's first computer programmer. Despite facing societal barriers and gender biases in the 19th century, Lovelace fearlessly pursued her passion for mathematics and technology. Her groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern computing, proving that with courage and determination, women can leave an indelible mark on the world of technology.

Join us on this remarkable journey as we celebrate the resilience, ingenuity, and unwavering spirit of women in tech. Together, let's dare to dream, defy expectations, and shape a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive.

Mark your calendars for the 9th of March 2024, and join us at Sister Nivedita University, New Town, Kolkata, as we come together to commemorate International Women's Day and empower the next generation of women leaders in technology.
