Event information

To be a mother is a full-time job. Being a working mother is equivalent to two full-time jobs (at minimum😅). And what about being a working mother in a constantly changing engineering field? Here at S1, we believe these women are simply modern heroes.🦸‍♀️

We invite you to celebrate Mother's Day and join our discussion with Katerina Lesch, My Tran, Irena Poncar and Carolina Perea! They will share their fascinating stories on how to balance Motherhood & Career in STEM.

When & where?

📍 The meetup will happen on May 11, 2023 at SentinelOne office in Prague (Karlin - Karolinska 707/7).

🕠 Open doors at 5:30PM and we will start at 6PM.
(The event is of course free of charge).

What's our plan for the evening?

You can look forward to a panel discussion (+-6PM - 7PM) with mothers & female leaders in demanding & high-profile careers, from various SaaS companies & global consultancies. 🎙️
