Women in Tech Group

Join the Conversation. Build Your Network. Inspire the Future.

What we do

This Special Interest Group offers mentorship, peer support, leadership development and sector‑wide visibility through active advocacy. We create spaces for networking and collaboration that strengthen professional confidence and community. At our core, we champion inclusive progression pathways and support women at every stage of their technical careers.

We will do this through events, both professional and informative events. We will look to create sub committees to advance the Women in Tech impact and vision.We would like to put an emphasis on young women in tech and working on getting more women interested in STEAMM (Science, engineering, arts, maths and medicine).
