Unstoppable Domains and Women in Tech Global.

As the first women's organisation to launch its own name service, Women in Tech Global is positioned by this endeavour.

According to a recent press release released by Women in Tech, the Silicon Valley organisation Women in Tech (WIT) has partnered with Unstoppable Domains, the premier Web3 domain organisation, to launch the world's first Web3 domain for women at the 2024 Women in Tech Global Summit.

Every year, a broad range of executives from industry, government, and civil society come together at the Women in Tech Global Summit to talk about the state of women in technology today and to establish goals for the upcoming year.

The 2024 version is scheduled for May 6-7 in Paris under the High Patronage of President Emmanuel Macron.

As part of the launch, the Women in Tech Global Summit will feature its own Web3 top-level domain (TLD) named “.WITG,” aiming to enhance the event’s digital community and support initiatives for female tech leaders.

As noted, each delegate at the summit can log in using a unique digital identity in the format “Name.WITG”.

This allows access to a community platform for networking and educational resources, focusing on topics like blockchain and artificial intelligence.

In addition, the “.WITG” domain will help Women in Tech enhance its global brand and allow community members to become ambassadors.

According to the WIT team, the newly launched domain is also part of a broader strategy to empower women through technology, providing tools for success in the digital realm and promoting personal and professional growth

Ayumi Moore Aoki, Founder and CEO of the Women in Tech Global Summit, expressed the organization’s ongoing commitment to uniting leaders and fostering discussions on global challenges facing women.

“Women in Tech is now firmly established as the global brand for the empowerment of women in our industry, but we can’t rest on our laurels.

Thanks to our new partnership with Unstoppable Domains, the 2024 Summit will bring together leaders from government, business, and civil society in a single secure, digital space to discuss the challenges facing women worldwide,” Aoki stated.

“They can then access education and training in transformational technologies like blockchain and AI and collaborate to build a better future for women—in the tech space and far beyond,” she added.

Sandy Carter, COO of Unstoppable Domains, believes Web3 domains are a powerful tool for security and fostering positive online communities and interactions.

“The rise of deepfakes and AI-powered malware has made digital identity one of the hottest issues in technology and politics, but web3 domains are about more than combating bad actors,” said Carter. “The genius of Web3 is how it can be harnessed to build and foster new communities, bringing a new era in how organizations engage and interact with their audience.”

Leading the way in Web3 domain names and digital identity, Unstoppable Domains has assisted Austin, Texas in obtaining a Web3 domain powered by blockchain technology, among other high-profile tech events for which it has previously rendered comparable services.

Women in Tech Global intends to submit an application to ICANN for a branded Web2 generic top-level domain (gTLD) in association with Unstoppable Domains.

The group wants to empower women in the technology industry by securing the ".WIT" gTLD in 2026 in order to improve its online pr

esence and community involvement.
