NC TECH’s 2022 Summit for Women in Tech was held in beautiful New Bern, North Carolina. At this event, female tech and business leaders from across the state gathered along the Neuse River to celebrate the strides that have been taken, but also focus on the work still yet to be done to improve representation for women in the tech industry and in leadership positions.
