Join us for one of Atlanta’s most engaging and interactive events for STEM leaders! For the past 20+ years we’ve auctioned off some of Atlanta’s most highly visible technology executives and raised over $2 million to support the development of young girls and the advancement of women in STEM. WIT Connect is one of the premier fundraising and networking events of the year with over 600 top level executives in the technology field.

In addition to our highly anticipated executive auction, it is also an evening where we focus on the mission of WIT. At this event, we highlight our WIT Girls and WIT Campus young women along with the impact WIT programs has had on their advancement in STEM, which includes scholarship awards.
