SUMMARY:MBWiTech | Rethinking Cybersecurity: Breaking the Myths Holding Women Back
DESCRIPTION:Register Today\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a complimentary hot breakfast and learn more about how cybersecurity isn’t what you think it may be! \n\n\n\nISACA Winnipeg and Manitoba Women in Tech are passionate about helping women take their place in the tech world. Cybersecurity is an area overflowing with opportunities\, but perceptions about careers in cybersecurity might be holding many women back from entering the field.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation is all about challenging common assumptions about what cybersecurity is (and who it’s for). Mary will explain how some of these perceptions and beliefs are just myths that can be broken to help women take a confident career step into the cyber world. \n\n\n\nIf you have ever thought that: \n\n\n\n\nCybersecurity is about hackers in hoodies\n\n\n\nThere’s only one “right” way to enter a cybersecurity career\n\n\n\nCybersecurity leadership is defined by technical mastery alone\n\n\n\nCybersecurity work is isolated and done in silos\n\n\n\nSecurity is something you add on after technology is deployed\n\n\n\nCybersecurity is about fear\, control\, and saying “no”\n\n\n\nYou need permission or perfect confidence to belong in cyber\n\n\n\n\nIf so\, you need to join us for this myth-busting presentation as part of Manitoba’s Tech Week! Mary’s presentation will be complemented by a panel featuring diverse cybersecurity roles that showcase the field as a multidisciplinary\, collaborative ecosystem. \n\n\n\nAgenda: \n\n\n\n\n8:00 – 8:30 am: breakfast & networking\n\n\n\n8:30 – 9:30 am: keynote & discussion\n\n\n\n9:30 – 10:00 am: networking\n\n\n\n10:00 am: event conclusion\n\n\n\n\nThank you to ISACA Winnipeg for sponsoring this event! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker bio: \n\n\n\nMary Carmichael is a recognized leader in cybersecurity\, technology risk\, and digital governance\, known for bridging strategy and execution to help organizations adopt innovation with confidence.

SUMMARY:MBWiTech | virtual lunch & learn workshop about Leading From the Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:Register Today\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNew goals require more than new strategies\, they require deeper awareness and understanding. \n\n\n\nWomen in tech often navigate complex internal and external pressures: imposter syndrome\, visibility challenges\, perfectionism\, and unspoken expectations around leadership\, confidence\, and communication. \n\n\n\nThis workshop focuses on understanding the internal patterns that shape how women show up at work. How we lead\, communicate\, make decisions\, and set boundaries\, particularly in environments where credibility\, visibility\, and confidence are constantly tested. \n\n\n\nRather than starting with external behaviours\, participants will explore what’s happening beneath the surface: the assumptions\, motivations\, and habits that influence everything from delegation and collaboration to confidence and credibility. \n\n\n\nThrough practical psychological frameworks\, participants will gain insight into why leadership challenges show up differently for each person and how self-awareness becomes a powerful tool for sustainable growth\, clarity\, and confidence in tech careers. \n\n\n\nParticipants will: \n\n\n\n\nExplore the internal drivers behind behaviour\, confidence\, and communication in tech environments\n\n\n\nLearn practical models that support meaningful self-awareness and professional growth\n\n\n\nExamine leadership challenges such as: delegation\, decision-making\, and assertive communication\, through the lens of challenges women commonly experience in tech roles\n\n\n\nIdentify internal patterns that support or interfere with visibility\, influence\, and career progression\n\n\n\nSet intentions for the year grounded in self-awareness rather than pressure\, comparison\, or unrealistic expectations often placed on women in tech\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker bio: \n\n\n\nTamara Kroeker is a coach\, facilitator\, and speaker specializing in self-awareness and relational intelligence in the workplace. After more than a decade as an elementary music teacher\, Tamara shifted her focus to leadership development and professional coaching. Her work centers on connection-based leadership\, supporting professionals to lead with understanding\, authenticity\, and trust. At the core of her work is the belief that personal growth is organizational growth. Every shift in awareness strengthens not just the individual but the culture around them. Your strongest team starts with a better understanding of YOU.  \n\n\n\n=== \n\n\n\nManitoba Women in Tech (#MBWiTech) is a community for women and gender-diverse folks working in tech\, along with our allies.

Rather than creating more information for fickle audiences\, companies have to unearth a zero-day growth exploit\, making a platform behave in an unintended way. In other words\, we have to stop writing press releases\, and start hacking markets. \n\n\n\nIn this talk—packed with subversiveness and fascinating\, often hilarious\, examples—bestselling author Alistair Croll shows how every great company found a way to capture attention it could turn into profitable demand. \n\n\n\nThis will be a 2 hour event with networking\, a 60 minute talk from Alistair and 30 minute Q&A.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT AGENDA: 5:30 – 6:00      Networking   6:00 – 6:15      Welcome Remarks – NMM6:15 – 7:15      Alistair Croll7:15 – 7:45      Q & A7:45 – 8:00      Wrap up & Event concludes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Alistair Croll  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSerial entrepreneur\, event organizer\, and bestselling author who works at the intersection of technology and society. \n\n\n\nAfter an early career in product management and telecommunications at Eicon\, Primary Access\, and 3Com\, Alistair built web performance pioneer Coradiant and sold it to BMC for $135M. \n\n\n\nHe launched the Year One Labs incubator\, chaired O’Reilly’s Strata and UBM’s Cloud Connect\, founded FWD50\, and taught at HBS. \n\n\n\nHe has co-written three books including Lean Analytics\, widely considered required reading for startups\, and is currently working on Just Evil Enough\, the subversive marketing playbook. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebsite: \n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/just-evil-enough-with-alistair-croll-tickets-607503207447

SUMMARY:The Exceptional Story of Complex Games
DESCRIPTION:The ‘exceptional’ story of Complex Games launching Chaos Gate\, and their future with Frontier Developments\, moderated by James Swirsky.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCreating a video game from scratch is no small undertaking. \n\n\n\nLaunching a successful video game from a Winnipeg indie studio is simply ‘exceptional’.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The truth is that over 50% of indie games on Steam have never made more than $4\,000\, and over 2/3 of these games don’t reach $10\,000 in lifetime revenue.*However\, Winnipeg’s own Complex Games Inc. was able to overcome these odds with their own title launch after many years in the business. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a fascinating conversation between Noah-Decter-Jackson and James Swirsky as they walk us through some of Complex Games history\, and share what it took to achieve Chaos Gate’s success\, and what eventually led to its acquisition. \n\n\n\nThis up-close conversation is being held at the beautiful RRC Polytech Auditorium on March 9th at 7:00 pm\, followed by an interactive Q & A where you can ask Noah questions about his unique and rare experience with making an indie game a global success.   \n\n\n\n*https://www.liquidweb.com/insights/video-game-statistics \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah Decter – JacksonHead of Studio & Games Director\, Complex Games \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNoah is a Creative Director-Entrepreneur\, over 21 years ago he bootstrapped Manitoba’s first videogame development studio\, Complex Games Inc.\, starting with $0 and at a time without any existing local industry\, community or government support.  After having built a successful work-for-hire business making games for some of the world’s largest publishers\, he pivoted the company towards independent development\, leading to the eventual 2022 launch of the top-selling & rated Warhammer 40\,000: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters. In the same year he and his partners sold the studio to Frontier Developments PLC\, where he continues on in his new role as Studio Head and Game Director. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator: James SwirskyDirector/Producer: ‘Indie Game: The Movie‘Co-founder of BlinkWorks Media \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames Swirsky is a documentary filmmaker primarily focused on telling stories in the world of video games.  James co-founded BlinkWorks Media and has made films for the likes of Valve\, Ubisoft\, Roblox\, Facebook and The Game Awards.
