About the Global Summit

Each year the ChIPs Global Summit brings together hundreds of women from law firms, corporations, government and academia for three days of programming and activities intended to inspire, connect and grow our community of women in tech, law and policy.

This event, which began as “just an idea among friends” has became a global movement attracting senior leaders, entrepreneurs and disrupters from the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Canada.

Programming includes cutting-edge topics at the intersection of technology, law and policy, as well as insightful discussions about diversity and inclusion, career development and leadership. Past panel topics have included artificial intelligence, technology and politics, fintech, cybersecurity and using technology for social change.

In 2020, we held our first virtual Global Summit, and welcomed our largest and most diverse group of attendees. More than 950 women from 12 countries joined us for two days of virtual panels, networking and one of a kind activities. Notable speakers included CEO, Board Director and author, Shellye Archambeau; Tribetan CEO and Founder, Tiffany Norwood; Santa Clara University Professor, Colleen Chien; City of New York Deputy CISO, Quiessence Phillips and Microsoft Associate General Counsel, Elke Suber.

The next Global Summit will take place October 27-29, 2021. This marks the 10th anniversary of the Global Summit and we look forward to sharing more as planning gets underway.

Hard to believe virtual ChIPs could be the Best. ChIPs. EVER!!!!

Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Global Summit possible. It has been an amazing experience and easily one of the highlights of my entire year, and it will get me through to 2021. Can’t wait to see you amazing women next year (hopefully in person)!
