Manager Event Content

AnitaB.org is a global leader dedicated to empowering women and advancing their careers. As a solution-oriented convener, we create opportunities that drive growth, ensuring women are seen, heard, and equipped to achieve successful career longevity. 

Our mission is to get women in tech skilled, hired, promoted, paid, and funded so that they can thrive, lead, and drive innovation for a more equitable and sustainable future. What sets us apart is our role as change agents of the status quo and prioritizing the humanity in every individual. We create safe spaces where women can share their vulnerabilities without judgment, and we see and honor them for who they truly are. We are known for our various programs connecting, guiding, and inspiring women in tech, as well as our annual Grace Hopper Celebration, the world’s largest gathering of women in tech.
