💜 THRIVING IN CHAOS 💜
We’re still smiling from the energy in the room at this year’s Thriving in Chaos.
What happens when thought leaders, engineers, cybersecurity experts, AI enthusiasts, and technologists come together? Connection, curiosity, honest conversations, and a whole lot of inspiration.
A heartfelt thank you to our panelists Cindy Zu, Aravind Tadakamalla, Katie Hix, Ally Brabant, and Moderator Dr. Sharon Jones; Apparo; workshop facilitators Madi Palermo, Becca Timperio, and Savannah from Red Ventures; and Cameryn Mitchell of Hustle Career Co. for bringing meaningful learning and connection to the day.
We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors TIAA, Lincoln Financial, Red Ventures, and CivicPlus, and our Vendor Village Community Partners ER Marketing, Marka Health, Start Up Women NC, Poseitup CLT, CLT Charm Bar, and Lake Norman IT Professionals.
And to our CWIT Board, Planning Committee, and every attendee — thank you. Your time, energy, ideas, and presence are what make this community so special. 💜
Technology may be changing rapidly, but we don’t have to navigate it alone.
Here’s to continuing to learn, connect, empower, and thrive in the chaos — together. 💜
