Technology futurist and Market Clarity chief executive Shara Evans will be a keynote speaker at the Women of InfoComm Network breakfast during this year’s Integrate Expo.

In this talk, Shara will share her personal story — her journey from a newly minted university graduate with a bachelor degree in Political Science to following her new found passion for technology, software engineering and designing telecommunications protocols.  And rising through the technical ranks to become a lead software architect, and having fabulous business mentors who encouraged her to become involved in international computer associations.

Sharing the triumphs, trials and tribulations along the way, Shara will talk about her path to founding and running two successful professional services firms, the first of which (Telsyte) she sold to publicly-listed UXC. She’ll also talk about her recent transition to becoming an internationally known futurist and keynote speaker, and the mentors she’s surrounded herself with to make this a reality.

The Women of InfoComm Network (WIN) council in Australia and New Zealand welcomes both women and men to join the event to discuss challenges and explore opportunities for women to pursue long-term success in their audiovisual (AV) and information technology (IT) careers.
