We are a progressive media business founded by the diversity pioneer Michaela Jeffery-Morrison, the creator of the Women in Tech World Series. We connect businesses with talent and talent with businesses. At Ascend we create content that inspires and educates. Through a series of live events across the world, and the global women in tech community, we strive to deliver connections, opportunities, inspiration and knowledge to the women and businesses that make up the technology sector by assembling the best female minds to talk tech, the world, and our future. Technology is the World's fastest growing sector and is changing every aspect of our professional and personal lives on a daily basis. It is our core belief that equal opportunity and representation within technology is essential to the balanced and inclusive development of the sector. Everything we do is guided by that belief. At Ascend we believe helping to empower women and girls to join and succeed within technology, whilst working with businesses to adopt best practices, we can help create a fairer, more inclusive sector, which creates products fit for all. As a group of professionals, we are united in this mission; it is the entire essence of our business.
