Fueling Women in Technology
RockIT Women is a launchpad to help women to propel and excel in all facets of technology and in life by empowering women who empower women.
RockIT Women
If you are a woman in IT, you have said or heard the saying, “I was the only female in the room.” For as long as tech careers have been around, women have been the minority.
RockIT Women began as a way for women to finally say “I was not the only woman in the room!” There are many brilliant women in technology, but often they don't have a voice because strength is greater in numbers and they are outnumbered. Therefore...
RockIT Women is a launchpad for women to excel in their career in IT. RockIT Women’s goal is to empower women through training, support, and connections. Let’s close the gender gap and give young ladies the aspirational role models they need to see a future in technology.
Time for a change - the time is now.

“Growth and comfort do not co-exist.”
— Ginni Rometty, CEO and Chairwoman of IBM, 2012 - 2020
Our why & the future
So, why are there so few women in tech?
Women are less likely to enter the computer science field - and stick with it - if they don’t have female role models, mentors and collaborators. Men are less likely to collaborate with female researchers - a particularly worrying trend in a field where women have long felt unwelcome. And lastly, the workplace gender gap and inequality will never close unless we have more women in leadership roles.
“Women no longer have an ‘if I can’ mindset. Now it’s more about ‘how I can’ — be in tech, start something in tech, fund something in tech. That shift is exciting! And it happened because we created a network where we show, daily, that women are innovating.”
— Shaherose Charania, Co-Founder and CEO of Women 2.0
