Design is like the blueprint of possibility—a deliberate framework that shapes the future we envision. When the outcome of design is thoughtfully crafted with inclusion at its heart, it empowers communities, amplifies voices, and creates pathways to progress.

🎟️ Join us on this International Women’s Day as we bring together change-makers to explore how design can drive inclusive progress. This event will delve into how thoughtful design transcends aesthetics to solve real-world challenges and create meaningful impact for diverse communities. Through the talks and sessions, we’ll celebrate the role of women in shaping a more equitable and sustainable world through design.

"Redefine Possible" is a bold declaration that challenges the boundaries of what technology can achieve and reimagines who shapes its future. The future of technology isn't predetermined— it is something we actively shape. What seems impossible today becomes tomorrow’s reality when we dare to challenge it. How will you "Redefine Possible" this International Women's Day?

🎙️ Sessions and Speakers

• How women play a key factor with empathy in design by Shilpa Murthy, IBM
  The role of women and empathy in design is a complex and nuanced topic. The primary focus would be talking about women in tech & how they can nurture and build a cohesive environment to work while emphasizing on empathy in design and driving the change.
• Bring balance by designing work-life by Vrushali Bayani, Arista Networks
  I'd like to share some lessons I've learned while working in the Enterprise Industry, where we tackle complex problems with complex solutions. But wait a second! This isn’t a case study about a product I designed. It's more about finding that sweet spot between life and design work – or maybe it's about designing a life that balances work.
• From Stigma to Solution - UX for Social Change by Pradnya Dhavalikar
  Can design help change the way we talk about social taboos? Let's explore how women-centered UX can create safe and open conversations through a board game designed to break menstrual stigma in India. By designing with empathy and understanding, we can make difficult topics easier to discuss, challenge outdated beliefs, and drive real social change.
• The UX Quest Design Workshop Activity by Accenture Song
  A fun and fast-paced UX challenge where attendees will put their design instincts to test—identifying apps, spotting UX flaws, and debunking design myths. Get ready for an engaging session of creativity, competition, and quick thinking.
