Join an honest and interactive dialogue about the moments that shape careers in tech, from barriers and bias to growth, confidence, and unexpected opportunities. Through shared experiences and candid reflection, participants will explore what it takes to become impossible to ignore and how we can create more space for others to thrive.

Beata Wandachowicz-Krason
— from Organon
This workshop is not a lecture, but an interactive conversation about the systemic barriers holding back women’s health innovation. Drawing on original applied research, Beata explores topics such as venture capital bias, regulatory bottlenecks, and the cultural normalization of women’s pain. The session starts with “FemTech Bingo,” an engaging activity designed to spark honest dialogue and reflection. Participants from all backgrounds are invited to discover how they can contribute to advancing women’s health innovation from their own position.

Many women between the ages of 35 and 60 experience symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and low stress tolerance. These symptoms are often associated with burnout, while they may actually be linked to hormonal transitions during menopause. This session explores the overlap between burnout and menopause symptoms, how misinterpretation impacts women in the workplace, and what organizations can do to improve awareness, support, and conversations around this topic.

We know sleep matters. We track our steps, monitor stress levels, and measure health data — yet many people still struggle to translate insights into sustainable daily habits. This workshop explores the science behind the intention–action gap and explains why information alone rarely changes behaviour.
