In fulfillment of Google’s advocacy on women inclusion and recognition in the male-dominated field of technology, Google Business Group (GBG) Angeles held the first Women Techmakers in Pampanga that featured a series of talks and panel discussions led by Filipina women tech leaders.
The event took place last December 6, 2014 at Century Hotel in Balibago, Angeles City. It is part of a series of events all around the globe that aim to increase visibility, resources and a sense of community for women in the industry.
Women Techmakers Pampanga featured female technology leaders such as Voyager Innovations Data Scientist Reina Reyes, Pangasinan ICT Council President Vanj Padilla, Koodi Systems Founder Rachel Jaro, Canva Philippines Country Manager Kei San Pablo, and Fashion Blogger Khai Nunag.
Panel discussions were also facilitated and led by accomplished Capampangan women entrepreneurs such as freelance marketing consultant and businesswoman Pamela Angeles – Flores, restaurateur and former President of The Hotels and Restaurant Association of Pampanga Mitchi Kaye Otsuru, and Italianeh (Italian bistro) Co-Owner Emily Parmisano.
Our goal at Women Techmakers is to raise the visibility of women’s leadership today. By bringing this kind of event here in Pampanga, we hope to inspire more women to join the tech community! And join the amazing, and active women who are leading the way," said GBG Angeles Founder Carissa Coles.
