According to a recent press release shared by Women in Tech, Silicon Valley institution Women in Tech (WIT) has partnered with Unstoppable Domains, the leading Web3 domain entity, to launch the world’s first Web3 domain for women at the 2024 Women in Tech Global Summit.
Each year, a diverse group of leaders from government, business, and civil society join forces at the Women in Tech Global Summit to discuss the current state of women in tech and set priorities for the year ahead. The 2024 edition will be held in Paris on May 6-7 under the High Patronage of President Emmanuel Macron.
As part of the launch, the Women in Tech Global Summit will feature its own Web3 top-level domain (TLD) called “.WITG,” with the goal of enhancing the event’s digital community and supporting initiatives for female tech leaders .
As mentioned, each summit delegate can log in using a unique digital identity in the format “Name.WITG.” This provides access to a community platform for networking and educational resources, focused on topics such as blockchain and artificial intelligence.
Additionally, the “.WITG” domain will help Women in Tech enhance its global branding and allow community members to become ambassadors. According to the WIT team, the newly launched domain is also part of a broader strategy to empower women through technology, providing tools for success in the digital realm and promoting personal and professional growth.
Ayumi Moore Aoki, founder and CEO of the Women in Tech Global Summit, expressed the organization’s ongoing commitment to uniting leaders and fostering conversations about the global challenges facing women.
“Women in Tech is firmly established as a global brand for women’s empowerment in our industry, but we can’t rest on our laurels. Through our new partnership with Unstoppable Domains, the 2024 Summit will bring together leaders from government, business and civil society in one safe digital space to discuss the challenges facing women around the world,” said Aoki.
They can then access education and training in transformative technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence and collaborate to build a better future for women, in the tech sector and beyond,” she added.
Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, believes Web3 domains are a powerful tool for security and promoting positive online interactions and communities.
“The rise of deepfakes and AI-powered malware has made digital identity one of the hottest issues in technology and politics, but Web3 domains are about much more than fighting bad actors,” Carter said. “The brilliance of Web3 is how it can be leveraged to build and foster new communities, ushering in a new era in how organizations engage and interact with their audiences.”
As a leading provider of Web3 domain names and digital identities, Unstoppable Domains has already provided similar services for other high-profile tech events, including helping Austin, Texas get a Web3 domain based on blockchain.
In collaboration with Unstoppable Domains, Women in Tech Global plans to apply for a Web2 branded generic top-level domain (gTLD) with ICANN. The team aims to secure the “.WIT” gTLD in 2026 to further enhance its digital presence and community engagement, all geared towards empowering women in the tech industry.
