Help Build Resilient Economies by Uplifting the Next Generation of Women in IT
Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg
Tuesday, 9 September 2025
09h00 – 17h00
In celebration of Women’s Month 2025, and in alignment with this year’s national theme “Building Resilient economies for all,” the IITPSA Women in IT (WIIT) Chapter is proud to host a dedicated Mentorship Pavilion at Leaderex 2025.
This powerful initiative recognises that resilient economies are inclusive economies, and that empowering women in ICT is essential to building South Africa’s future.
We are calling on Gauteng-based women who are members of the IITPSA and WIIT Chapter to share their experience and leadership by volunteering a few hours of their time as mentors.
At Leaderex 2025, South Africa’s premier gathering of professionals, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders, the WIIT Mentorship Pavilion will offer one-on-one, 20-minute informal mentorship sessions. These are designed to support women at various stages of their ICT careers through encouragement, insight, and practical guidance.
We’re looking for 8–10 women in ICT who:
- Have 8+ years of ICT experience
- Hold a senior management or leadership role
- Are strong communicators
- Are willing to volunteer a few hours of their time on 9 September 2025 at the Sandton Convention Centre
Mentors may commit to either a half-day (minimum 4 hours) or full day. The Mentorship Pavilion will be open from 09h00 to 17h00.
Please apply by 18h00 on Monday 18 August 2025:
Email Thenzie Stewart, WIIT Chapter chair at wiitchair@iitpsa.org.za with:

By volunteering, you’ll contribute directly to shaping a more inclusive digital economy – one that values, supports, and advances women in technology.
Together, let’s build the future, one empowering conversation at a time.
