The Power of Partnership: The Impact of Allies, Sponsors, and Advocates
Venue

Audience
This event is designed for women in tech and the allies, advocates, sponsors, leaders, and organizations who support them, as well as anyone interested in learning how stronger partnerships can open doors, amplify voices, and create lasting impact.
What to Expect
Behind many successful women is someone who believed in them, advocated for them, opened a door, or encouraged them to step through it.
Join RedChair Pittsburgh for our annual event as we explore The Power of Partnership and the meaningful impact allies, sponsors, and advocates can have on our personal and professional journeys.
This year, six panelists will share the stage in pairs, with each woman joined by a male mentor, sponsor, or advocate who has played an important role in her journey. Together, they’ll share the real stories behind their relationships: how they began, how they evolved, the doors they opened, the lessons they learned from one another, and the lasting impact they’ve had on each other’s lives and careers. Because advancing women isn’t something women should have to do alone. When we have people willing to advocate, sponsor, mentor, and stand beside us, we all move forward.
Come ready for authentic conversation, meaningful connection, and a powerful reminder of what can happen when we intentionally lift one another up.
