5 Years On Stage Celebration

Join us at Taboola TLV for an evening celebrating 5 years of Women on Stage and the inspiring voices, stories, and communities that have grown around it.

From our very first Academy cohort to today’s events, Women on Stage has been a platform for women in tech to share their knowledge, take the mic, and inspire others to grow. This celebration is open to anyone who is passionate about public speaking in tech: speakers, community leaders, and anyone who believes in the power of sharing knowledge to create impact.

This is a moment to reconnect with past alumni and team members who made it all possible, reflect, get inspired, and celebrate how far we’ve come, while setting intentions for what comes next.

** Note: The event will be conducted in Hebrew. All genders are welcome!

Creating Technical Presentations with AI (Mey Maayan Beisaron)

As developers and tech leaders, we’d rather tackle technical challenges than spend hours creating slides. But when you use GenAI tools to generate slides for you... the results, how shall I say it... are somewhat disappointing.

So how do you build a great technical presentation without spending a week on it?

In this talk, you’ll get actionable tips for using AI to help write, visualize, and speed up your next presentation — without needing to prompt it 47 times before it finally gets your architecture diagram right.

(And yes, this abstract was proudly co-written by AI. Blame it for the bad joke)

Panel - Moving It Forward: Public Speaking, Community Building & Lasting Impact

Public speaking has the power to spark change, amplify ideas, and inspire action. Community building turns those sparks into a lasting movement.

In this panel, we’ll bring together speakers, tech leaders, and community builders to discuss the future: how sharing your voice on stage and leading communities can inspire others, create opportunities, and drive meaningful change in tech. We’ll explore the personal impact it’s had on our panelists, the ripple effects they’ve seen in their networks, and how we can continue moving it forward together.

Interactive Networking Activity - Spark Sessions: Connect. Share. Inspire.

Connect and share yourself in small groups through guided, focused conversations. Share your story, hear others, then switch groups to meet new people. Leave inspired, with new ideas and stronger connections.
