About this Event

About this event:

This highly anticipated event sells out every year. Join 500-plus women and a few good men for this unique three-day experience!

When one woman helps another, amazing things can happen.

That's what the Women in Technology conference is all about. The conference brings together women at every level in every technology field to connect, educate, and inspire. From the classroom to the boardroom, women come together to help bridge the gender gap and recognize, honor, and promote women who make significant contributions to STEAM in our community and beyond. Not in technology or not a woman —that's okay. All are welcome, and there is something for everyone to walk away empowered and inspired!

LOUISVILLE IT TOURS - 8:00 am to 2:00 pm

Board a bus at Crown Plaza or meet us at the first stop!

Take a behind-the-scenes tour of Churchill Downs and discover how innovation powers every aspect of this legendary track. Learn how cutting-edge technology is used not only to run Churchill Downs but also to support racetracks across the globe. From racing operations to fan engagement, see how Churchill continues to evolve, blending rich tradition with forward-thinking solutions that lead the industry.

What makes this tour even more special is that it will be led by some of the incredible women in IT who are attending the RockIT Women conference. You'll hear firsthand how they’re helping to drive the digital transformation of Churchill Downs, sharing insights into the systems, tools, and strategies that keep this global racing powerhouse running at peak performance. It's a unique opportunity to connect innovation in sports with tech leadership.

BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE..

It's race season! This unique tour also allows you to experience an insider’s look at the start of a racehorse’s day. Watch as powerful Thoroughbreds hit the track at sunrise, getting a feel for the surface and fine-tuning their training in preparation for race day. The sound of hooves, the mist rising off the dirt, and the quiet intensity of the backstretch create a moment that’s both serene and exhilarating—an unforgettable way to see the racing world come to life.

End the tour at Churchill with The Greatest Race: the immersive film experience.

Step into the heart-pounding thrill of Derby Day with The Greatest Race, the Kentucky Derby Museum’s signature 18-minute film, shown exclusively in one of the world’s only 360° theaters. Using state-of-the-art laser projection, this immersive experience envelops you in the thunder of hooves, the roar of the crowd, and the unforgettable energy of the Kentucky Derby. Emotional and exhilarating, it’s a must-see that captures the spirit and spectacle of the Derby like nothing else.

Next up- grab lumch at the cafe located in the Derby Museem, then board the bus for the second IT Tour.

UofL Robotics Program. (more details about this coming soon)

Bringing women back to the center of our economy.

If nothing is done to change the current trends, young women will lose the race for the high-value, high-productivity jobs at the heart of the digital economy.

Why do we need more women in tech?

Diversity of thought leads to better problem-solving. Collaborating with individuals of different genders, sexual orientations, ethnicities, and races leads to increased innovation and enhanced problem-solving. Holding more corporate leadership roles leads to increased revenue. In a survey published in a Peterson Institute for International Economics working paper, researchers found that gender diversity is indeed profitable for companies, examining 22,000 firms globally.

The ability to tap into the most significant single economic force in the world: American women. According to a survey by Catalyst, women control approximately 73 percent of all household spending in the United States.
