🌍 Over the past two weeks, our teams across the world came together to mark International Women’s Day. From Australia to the US, we hosted panels, workshops, and open conversations shaped by this year’s theme, Balance the Scales. 💬 The focus was real, practical, and sometimes uncomfortable in the best way. We explored: - Mentorship and how we give back - Confidence, visibility, and speaking up - Imposter syndrome and career growth - Women’s role across science, tech, and energy 🎤 The speakers brought a fresh mix of perspectives: - Leaders from across tech and energy - A quantum physicist and comedian - Coaches focused on confidence and progression - Kraken experts across engineering, delivery, and data 🍕 And as always, we made time to connect properly. Good food, shared moments, and conversations that carried beyond the sessions. A huge thank you to everyone who organized and took part. These are the moments that shape how we work and grow, together. #InternationalWomensDay hashtag#WomenInTech hashtag#WomenInEnergy hashtag#Inclusion
