International Women's Day celebrates the progress women have made economically, socially and politically. In the honour of International Women's day, the SmartTechie (sister magazine of siliconindia) is organizing Women 2.0 Summit on March 10, 2008.

At this summit, nearly 1000 women technology professionals will come together to celebrate the great strides women are making in their companies and in the business world. It's obvious that diversity has an enormous, tangible meaning. Highly successful professional women from the technology industry will share their knowledge, experiences and insights to help empower more women to achieve their goals. At the Summit, there would be four panel discussions on: Ascending the Corporate Ladder, The Lady Entrepreneur, The NextGen Developers, The Intrapreneurs. This exciting summit will consist of lectures, skill building exercises, and group discussions. Highly interactive and engaging, we assure you that the one-day summit will be useful, insightful and lots of fun too.

More and more women are taking on leadership roles. To prepare yourself to take your place at the executive table, it is crucial that you identify the need to shift your mindset so that you can be a powerful and effective leader be it in the work environment, social setting, or at home.
