National Wagyu Day on June 21 is a celebration of culinary excellence! Whether you’re a seasoned Wagyu enthusiast or a curious newcomer, this day invites you to experience the unparalleled delight of Wagyu beef. It’s also a chance to learn about the distinction between Japanese, American, and Australian Wagyu and to spread awareness about the rigorous authentication process of Japanese Wagyu. National Wagyu Day was founded in 2022 and we’ve been raising our forks, raising a toast, and celebrating it ever since.
World Quantum Readiness Day
The first annual World Quantum Readiness Day is set for Thursday, September 26, 2024. More than simply an awareness event, World Quantum Readiness Day is a call to action, spurred by technology leaders looking at an era-defining change in digital technology.
Developments in quantum computing are accelerating rapidly, and the start of the quantum era is the beginning of something we’ve never seen in data privacy. An entirely new system for protecting data is needed, and even information that has been protected for years or decades will be vulnerable to retroactive decryption using quantum computers.
World Quantum Readiness Day is focused on leveraging Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to prepare for the near-future moment when quantum computing is powerful enough to break even the strongest forms of today’s data encryption.
Break The Glass Ceiling Day
It’s time to Break the Glass Ceiling. The often-invisible systemic barriers that exist to keep women and underrepresented communities from professional advancement.
World Economic Forum’s 2021 Global Gender Gap Report estimates that it will take an average of 135.6 years for women and men to reach parity on a range of factors worldwide. That’s why Break the Glass Ceiling Day is on May 15, the 135th day of the year. And that’s why we need to do more than just break through.
We are dismantling outdated definitions of success. For all people who identify as women, for all historically marginalized communities. We are championing living by your own values and achieving them by your own standards. Because there’s more than one way to break the glass ceiling.
Today is about encouraging action. Our mission is not only uplifting women in the workplace but all underrepresented communities, including multicultural, transgender, and queer communities.
As we continue on this journey, we must ask three crucial questions:
- How do we see women as equals and role models for ALL — not just other women.
- How do we make space for diverse, even conflicting, definitions of success?
- How do we use this day to inspire continued action across every single day of the year?
Let’s celebrate #BTGCD and redefine success on our own terms.
