Join Avionos and Chicago WomenTech as we raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month on behalf of the American Cancer Society. An all-female panel of researchers and tech professionals will tell stories about the importance of prioritizing mental, physical, and emotional health — and how it can positively affect one’s career.
While this event is free, we suggest a donation of $10 to the American Cancer Society. You can donate through the link here or give cash at the door.
