“TechWomen introduced me to many role models for women working in the
technical field; I was so inspired when meeting with them. TechWomen also
gave me to opportunity to visit the US for the first time. It was so
different to visit the place, directly interacting with the people, rather
than hearing about the culture from a distance. Thank you TechWomen, I had
some of the happiest days ever in life because of you!” **– 2012
