The Empowerment Fund
Providing Scholarships for 23WIP
The 23WIP Empowerment Fund is here to help you Build What’s Next. Financial barriers disproportionately impact women and non-binary folks, especially those from underrepresented communities. We want to support women and non-binary folks who have experienced the financial hardships of this past year through our Empowerment Fund.
The Empowerment Fund provides financial support to attend the Women In Product Conference, and the program will give you opportunities to network with other women and non-binary folks in product. It is crucial to have a support system as you tackle the obstacles in your career; Women In Product is ready to provide connections to help you be successful. At the Women In Product Virtual Conference 2023 we want to connect you with thousands of other powerful and determined product managers to build the future.
You have an impact on building what’s next for product management. During the conference, you’ll have a chance to learn from product leaders; meet potential advisors, mentors, and friendtors; and gain new skills, knowledge, and insights. We hope you will use the time to define what’s next for you and the world of product.
At Women In Product, we believe that true inspiration and impact depends on hearing from, and listening to, people with a variety of perspectives. We want our conferences, and the technology communities and companies who participate in them, to include, encourage, and recognize people of all socioeconomic status, races, ethnicities, genders, ages, abilities, religions, sexual orientation, and military service. Please read our full diversity statement to learn more.
