SheCanXL – Leading the Change
April 4th | Building 27, High Tech Campus | Free Event

HighTechXL and the Expat Spouses Initiative are teaming up once again for the second edition of SheCanXL, where we come together to celebrate women and lead the change. We will reflect on the progress made, advocate for change, and honor the ordinary women who achieve extraordinary things.

Imagine a world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where differences are valued, and voices are heard. We believe in the power of women leading the way, individually and together.

This is a space to pause, connect, and find the courage to take action. To accelerate yourself, amplify others, and inspire change.
