Allstate Remains Inspired by Grace Hopper Attendees

In September, Allstate returned to the Grace Hopper Celebration to join over 20,000 women in technology. A team of Allstaters hosted a booth with an interactive drone-technology game, shared Allstate opportunities, and heard from who are surely to become future industry leaders. Read what Dana, an Allstate attendee, said when reflecting about the conference:

“Throughout the 2018 Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC), it was clear that women are truly changing the future of technology. It was a week of tremendous learning from the diverse collective of workshop presenters, engaging conversations with future girl bosses at the Allstate booth, and captivating speeches from the impressive keynote speakers. I left more inspired than ever. There’s a true sense of pride that comes with being given the opportunity to share with others the amazing and innovative work being done at Allstate. It left me feeling motivated and excited to go back and continue achieving great things with my team in Charlotte, NC.

I have always been proud to be an Allstate employee but never more than during my time at GHC. Learning is a two-way street and more than anything, I am thankful I had the opportunity to share my awesome Allstate experience with others as well as soak in a great deal of wisdom and knowledge from women across the country.”

Allstate is proud to return to Grace Hopper and continue moving on Women in Tech Initiatives

Allstate is returning to the Grace Hopper Celebration, this year in Houston, TX. We caught up with some of this year’s attendees to chat about Grace Hopper and what it means to them! Check out what they had to say:

Prachi is a first-time attendee and is excited to mingle with rising technology leaders. “In order to grow a strong technology organization, you need diversity. Women bring different ideas and new vision and Grace Hopper is a great place for us to meet women in technology who will help drive us forward!

Shaggy is attending for the second time and is looking forward to sharing Allstate opportunities. “A lot of attendees are really open to new opportunities and Allstate has something for everyone! If someone chooses Allstate as their next move, they’ll find teams of passionate and innovative thinkers that are committed to our digital transformation. New employees will be excited to see the high-tech labs and upbeat environment that we’ve fostered.

Angelika was recruited to join our Technology Development Program during Grace Hopper just two years ago! She’s excited to be returning as an Allstate employee. “Allstate is truly a company that embodies diversity! Their tangible commitment to supporting and developing women in IT is the reason I joined the company.”

Chakita will be returning to Grace Hopper for the second year in a row. “We all know the low, disturbing numbers and research when it comes to women leading and being in tech.  We are answering the call by addressing this issue head on by having strategic partnerships with organizations like AnitaB.org that produces GHC.  This helps us to live into one of our core values of Inclusion and Diversity which represents our diverse company culture, agents and customers.”
