Want to connect with female-identifying technology professionals who want
to make change in their lives and professions for the better? Join others
in the field to discuss the challenges, joy, and lessons learned at
AvramCamp, LITA’s AdaCamp-inspired <https://adacamp.org/> event. This
one-day LITA preconference will allow female-identifying individuals
employed in various technological industries an opportunity to connect with
others in the field and to collectively examine barriers to success.

This day will follow the unconference model
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference>, empowering attendees to
determine event themes and topics. AvramCamp will start the day with an
engaging overview of imposter syndrome, the feeling that you aren’t
actually qualified for the work you are doing and will be discovered as a
fraud. Participants will then have the opportunity to propose lightning
rounds and session proposals on a variety of topics such as salary
negotiation, creating and maintaining inclusive workplaces, and becoming
leaders in the technology field. Watch for more program details in the
coming weeks!
