The event will be promoted to Clark County School District students via the district’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program. This is the first time Las Vegas Techies has hosted the event.

“You may love the idea of technology, but you may not know how you would fit in or all the options that are available,” said Heather Parks, Healliam Founder & CEO. “The world of IT has a variety of roles that suit many personalities and disciplines. Speaking to different women who are in those roles can turn a light bulb on for someone who doesn’t want to be an engineer or programmer but does like talking to people and gathering business requirements like a business analyst.”
