DATAWAVES '26: Women in IT - Unfiltered & Unstoppable
✨ 10 Years of DataWaves: Unfiltered, Unstoppable, and Under Wraps!
Can you believe it? DataWaves is turning 10! 🎂
Since 2016, the Monash Data & AI Society has been bridging the gap between students and the pros. To celebrate a decade of connection, we’re throwing out the "polished" rulebook and doing something truly special.
🎤 Not Your Average Career Panel
Forget the rehearsed speeches and the "LinkedIn-perfect" advice. We’re bringing you Women in IT: Unfiltered and Unstoppable. This is a space for the real stories, the ones about grit, overcoming doubt, navigating rooms that weren't built for us, and exactly what it took to keep going. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s going to be incredibly empowering.
🤫 The Big Reveal: Who’s On Stage?
We’ve curated a powerhouse lineup of speakers from Melbourne’s most iconic tech organisations. We’re keeping the names a secret just a little while longer... but trust us, when the reveal happens a few days before the event, you’ll be so glad you already grabbed a seat!
🤝 There’s a Seat for Everyone
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to be a better advocate, we want you there:
- For the Women in Tech: Come find your community. These are the stories you actually need to hear as you build your own path. You aren't just attending an event; you're joining a sisterhood.
- For her Allies: We welcome everyone! This is a unique opportunity to listen, learn, and understand what it truly means to support diversity in tech. Discover what "showing up" looks like in the real world.
🔗 Food, Networking, and Connections
The magic doesn't stop when the panel ends. Stay for some delicious food and a relaxed networking session. This is your chance to chat one-on-one with our speakers, swap contact info, and keep the conversation going with like-minded peers.
