Society tells women to follow a script—but what happens when we choose to rewrite it? This keynote challenges the deep-seated fear of disappointing others and redefines success on your own terms. Uma shares her personal journey of breaking barriers, navigating shame, and embracing leadership with radical authenticity.

Whether you're sparking new collaborations, sharing stories, or just enjoying a breather between sessions, this is your time to build meaningful connections that could last well beyond the summit.
A presentation of The Channel Company’s annual study exploring the lived experiences of women in the IT channel ecosystem. This analysis of survey data collected from women and men provides a comprehensive view of workplace dynamics, highlighting evolving trends and persistent challenges for women at various career stages. This presentation moves beyond data, offering actionable insights to foster inclusivity and spark meaningful change. Attendees will gain practical strategies to advance gender equality and build workplaces where all women can thrive as the leaders the channel needs.

Behind every thriving woman in tech, there’s often a network of support: mentors who guided, sponsors who advocated, and peers who walked alongside them. But as formal development programs decline across industries, how can we ensure these powerful relationships remain accessible—and effective?
We’ll unpack the real differences between mentorship and sponsorship, define what each relationship can (and should) look like, and share real-life stories of transformational career moments sparked by the right connections. Attendees will walk away with a fresh perspective on how to seek or serve as a mentor, become a sponsor who makes a difference, and empower the next generation of women leaders in tech.
Take a moment to recharge and refuel during the final Networking Break of the day! Enjoy light refreshments while mingling with fellow attendees.
We’re often conditioned to chase a “filters-on” version of success—achievement, happiness, and curated perfection, but what happens when life delivers disruption instead of the dream?
In this deeply personal and powerful keynote, Suguna shares how personal loss, fear, and disruption became powerful turning points to a new and deeper kind of success. She invites us to see how shifting focus from “overcoming” to “awakening” unlocks transformation and freedom, and reveals how she transmuted grief into growth, disability into discernment and made genuine gains from pain.
Settle in as we close out the day, reflecting on the highlights, key takeaways, and reminisce on the powerful words of our speakers. From tales of triumphs over adversity to insights that challenge the status quo, each speaker will leave us with an indelible mark on our minds and hearts.
As the curtains draw on this exhilarating event, let us remember that the end of the event does not mark the conclusion of the connections, learning, and inspirations but rather carry that flame through the WOTC Leadership Network where the conversation are always on! Let us go forth empowered and ready to conquer new horizons, break barriers, and leave indelible marks on the channel!
