EVENT DETAILS No badge necessary to attend. RSVP does not guarantee attendance to this event. The Official Together Digital Summit at SXSW (formerly Women in Digital) in partnership with WP Engine's Shero Fair Womxn, allies, & advocates! This event brings together the most powerful womxn in digital from across the nation for a series of talks & power panels, with our moving & sometimes life-changing Ask + Give sessions. We'll be presenting alongside the Shero Fair, featuring several predominate non-profit organizations that benefit women in digital. What is Womxn? A woman (used, especially in intersectional feminism, as an alternative spelling to avoid the suggestion of sexism perceived in the sequences m-a-n & m-e-n, & to be inclusive of trans & non-binary women). What is Together Digital? Nearly 2,000 womxn in the creative & digital landscape, from across the country. Our members work across all digital professions from marketing & communications, advertising to design, research & development, to UX/UI, & any field where digital is your medium & tool. What makes Together Digital unique? We're a sisterhood without stigma. We choose collaboration over competition. And we ASK for what we need without shame, we GIVE without judgment, & GROW together. Don't miss this empowering, educational, & motivational day.
