Women in Trading & Technology
IMC is committed to encouraging women from all backgrounds to learn more about how their skills can be applied to a career in trading or engineering, and empower them to thrive in our industry.
ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
IMC’s Women in Trading and Technology (WiTT) is a selective two-day event designed for curious, problem-solving students who are eager to explore the intersection of technology, trading, and quant research at IMC.
Through hands-on experiences and expert insights, you’ll dive into cutting-edge trading strategies, industry-leading technology, and our dynamic, collaborative and inclusive culture. This is your chance to gain a behind-the-scenes look at IMC and see firsthand how innovation drives success in a tech-powered trading firm.
The event is for women with an academic background in engineering, mathematics, physics, finance, economics, actuarial studies, computer science, or equivalent.
