Her attendance is a major coup for organiser and Female Techpreneur founder Bukky Babajide, who said: “I am thrilled to have Kayla's on board for our launch event. Kayla has an amazing story to share and her keen support is further validation of the initiative. In terms of 'brand MK' it will shine a light on the town too, as Kayla plans to share the story with her Forbes Magazine subscribers.”
Female Techpreneur will offer its members free to attend networking events, discounts to mastermind sessions and much more.
As previously announced, the live launch is being sponsored by the Institute of Technology at Milton Keynes College.
Bukky will be joined by fellow experts in the tech and finance industries, and they will outline how their knowledge can benefit your business.
