Mid-Career Stories: Finding Your Place in Tech

Wednesday 19th November, 18:00 - 21:00

Not every path into tech is a straight line - and that’s what makes the stories worth hearing.

Join us for an intimate evening in our Tokyo office for a panel discussion featuring leaders who took unexpected paths into technology and found their place along the way. They'll share their stories of their journeys - and, crucially, what made them stay.

This is about demystifying tech and celebrating the diversity of thought that drives innovation. This event is open to tech and non-tech backgrounds, and will be held in English.
