Czechitas at SXSW EDU: Empowering Women in Tech Across Borders

At Czechitas, we believe in the power of education to transform lives. That’s why we’re thrilled to be part of SXSW EDU 2024, a global hub where innovation, inspiration, and collaboration come together.

Our mission is to bridge the gender gap in technology, and we’re excited to share our experience in bringing more women into IT - from coding and cybersecurity to AI and beyond. With roots in Prague and Brno, two dynamic tech hubs in the Czech Republic, we’ve been equipping women with the skills and confidence to thrive in the digital economy for a decade.

On March 6, from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Austin Convention Center, we’ll take the stage for the panel together with Monswita Saha from Kyndryl Foundation How to Empower Women Through Cybersecurity and AI Education. Together with inspiring experts, we’ll explore how education and partnerships can drive real impact - not just in the Czech Republic, but worldwide.

We’re also hosting a Meet & Greet from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM to continue the conversation in a more informal setting.

Our vision for 2030 is clear: to prepare a new generation of women ready to lead in IT, AI, and the digital transformation of tomorrow.

📍 Let’s meet! If you’re attending SXSW EDU and want to connect, join us at our panel discussion, stop by our Meet & Greet, or grab a coffee with us anytime between March 3–7. Let’s connect and explore how we can empower more women in tech - together! 🚀
