Let's Talk About Breaking Codes, Breaking Barriers

Join us for an inspiring conversation on women shaping the digital future.

In this fireside chat, Lennig Pedron will share her perspective on how women can build influence, confidence, and credibility in industries still largely male-dominated, from navigating complex leadership environments to shaping ethical frameworks in technology and policy. Together, we’ll explore what it means to thrive at the intersection of innovation, integrity, and inclusion.
