Women in Tech Fiji is proud to share that our Director of Events, Marketing & Communications, Dipti Sharma will be presenting at PNGPR Week 2026

Dipti will be speaking on “Building Trusted Public Brands: Lessons from a Founder-Led Coworking and Community Space”, sharing insights on authentic storytelling, digital branding, community engagement, and building trusted brands within the Pacific context.

As an entrepreneur, founder of Mydesk and Eventuros Fiji and a passionate advocate for women in business and technology, Dipti continues to represent Fiji and the Pacific region on international platforms while promoting innovation, inclusion, and purpose-driven communication.

We are incredibly proud to see Pacific women leaders contributing to important regional conversations in PR, communications, technology, and branding.

Building Trusted Public Brands: Lessons from a Founder‑Led Coworking and Community Space: Speaker Bio: Dipti Sharma

Dipti Sharma is the founder and CEO of Fiji, a coworking and community space in Nadi that is reimagining how entrepreneurs and professionals work in the Pacific.

She is also the founder and director of Eventuros Fiji, an award‑winning digital marketing, communications and events agency with over 20 years of experience leading media, branding, and enterprise‑development campaigns across Fiji and the region.

A nationally recognised entrepreneur—Tech Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 and part of CMO Asia’s Top 50 Women in Leadership—Dipti is known for building purpose‑driven brands that connect people, places, and stories. Through Women in Tech Fiji, where she serves as Director of Marketing, Communications and Events, she has helped hundreds of women‑led businesses gain visibility, secure funding, and build cohesive brand narratives that resonate with local communities and global audiences.

For government PR and communications officials, Dipti’s experience is especially valuable: she demonstrates how to build strong, founder‑led brands on constrained budgets, leverage digital storytelling to cut through noise, and turn public institutions and initiatives into trusted, community‑centric brands.

At PNGPR Week 2026, participants will gain practical insights into shaping clear, consistent messaging, engaging audiences in small‑market, high‑visibility environments, and designing campaigns that blend authenticity, inclusion, and impact—tools they can directly apply to public‑sector communications in Papua New Guinea and the wider Pacific.

WIT Youth Voices — what a night!

For the first time, we hosted an -style debate and it was truly something special. Young people speaking boldly, challenging ideas, and owning the room with confidence and passion.

This is exactly why spaces like WIT Youth Voices matter — because when young people are given the platform, they rise.

Thank you to our amazing women leaders and speakers for pouring into our youth so generously. Your stories and presence reminded every young girl that she belongs in tech.

A heartfelt thank you to our supporters — Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation, Women in Tech Fiji , Vodafone Fiji, and Digicel — for believing in this vision.

This is only the beginning. 🩷

Vinaka vakalevu to everyone who joined us!

This one meant a lot to us. Not just as an event, but as the first real step in building WIT Fiji .

We created the Workshop to bring together girls who are in tech, or just curious about it, and give them the space to think, create, and solve real problems in their communities. Along the way, they explored digital skills and built low fidelity prototypes, turning their ideas into something tangible.

A big part of this was storytelling and empathy, taking the time to understand problems that matter to them, and building ideas that actually connect.

From brainstorming to pitching, the energy in the room was something special. Seeing girls as young as 11 stand up and present their ideas with that level of confidence, it was honestly something we won’t forget.

Thank you to Extra Supermarket and Greenhouse Coworking for supporting this Initiative. A heartfelt gratitude to our peer mentors (final years and graduates) who guided the girls, and to our judges Shawn McKay PhD and Salsabil Nusair. A special thank you to Nazia Taylor- MSM for holding the space so well as our facilitator and ofcourse our incredible participants who have now become part of our community for continued learning amd mentorship opportunities.

This would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our incredible Youth Ambassador and Program Coordinator Toni Harm Nam who brought this initiative to life with the support of the WIT Fiji team!

We are excited for what the future holds!
