So again like most of the events i organize its started with a tweet

Tweet that started Women in technology events

 

and ended with an amazing program which brought together around 40 women and 10 men in Technology in Ghana but most importantly together arguably the 2 most powerful women in technology in Ghana (Estelle Akrofi-Sowah – Google Country Manager and Otema Yirenkyi-Microsoft Country Manager)

I left the Ghana Women in technology event with a number of thoughts on my mind:

-A line Otema shared  “I dwell in possibilities“

–Estelle  talk about how she had to put herself up for both her jobs in busy internet and Google , She raised her hand and said i am here , i would be amazing for the job, Hire me!

Pictures and Videos are on here.

Many thanks to  iSpace , Regina Agyare of Tech Needs Girls, Amma Baffoe of  Meltwater Entrepreneurial School Of Technology, Enyonam Kumahor of Thoughtworks  and Doris Anson-Yevu of GDC for helping me put his together.

It looks we are going to make this a monthly event.
