Join Our Live #CiscoChat on June 16th – Women in Technology: Changing the World for Good

The world is changing faster than ever. The Internet and mobile technology keep us connected in ways that have never been possible before, and those ways continue to grow and improve every day. As technology become more ubiquitous, how can it be used to change the world for the better?

That’s the topic of our latest #CiscoChat, Women in Technology: Changing the World for Good, on Wednesday, June 16th from 10am to 11am PT.

We’ve asked two top women in technology to join us and help us understand the various ways that mobile technology and communications networks are helping to make the world a better place: things like coordinating first responders in a natural disaster using communications networks, so that they can deliver food, water, and medical care more effectively.

Our two participants are Sue-Lynn Hinson (@ncfirewolf), Cisco’s Tactical Operations (TacOps) Manager, and Lauren Woodman (@llwoodman), Chief Executive Officer for NetHope, an organization that provides and improves IT connectivity to developing countries and areas affected by natural disasters. Both women are dedicated to using technology to improve the world we live in.

Some of the questions they’ll be addressing include, “How will technology change the way we approach global problem solving?” and “How can young women become more grounded in technology, and access the skills they need to improve the world in which we live.”
