Fostering gender balance for the future tech evolution

Recordings

Promoting gender equality in the tech industry is crucial for building a better digital world. In January 2024, the firstconference brought together the brightest women in tech from Europe, the USA, Japan, Colombia, and Malaysia. Among the topics — enhancing gender equality, advancing women's careers, and developing solutions that can empower women in the technology sector and beyond. Barrier-breaking discussions engaged experts in gender equality and diversity, female top managers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.

The initiated She Is Tech community now gathers women who strive to share experiences, give mutual support, and move the industry toward equality.

How it was

Female leaders from all over the world met at the very first She Is Tech Conference to support and inspire each other.

Workplace stage

How the tech industry could achieve greater gender diversity

The tech industry is a talent-driven domain. It continuously sets new benchmarks in HR practices, diversity, leadership, and management. The tech industry is also one of the early adopters of diversity standards and practices.

Here, like nowhere else, we understand the value diversity brings to creativity, problem solving, planning, or responding to crises. At the same time, the tech industry remains a male-dominated field.

Leadership stage

Female leadership and career development in tech

The share of women in IT hardly reaches 30% in many markets. And the global ratio of women in IT leadership roles is below 20%. The tech industry is not immune to common challenges women face, whether it is a biased attitude, “glass ceiling”, or “sticky floor”.

And yet the percentage of women in IT is constantly growing. We are seeing more and more female founders of successful tech startups and women taking top positions in global tech companies. We’ve invited outstanding female leaders to share their stories of overcoming barriers and building successful careers in tech.

Communities stage

Women Tech Communities Connect:
empowerment, mentorship and recognition

Discover insights from women tech community leaders from Bulgaria, Portugal, Ukraine, Spain, Croatia, Poland, as they come together for a dynamic cross-border stage. Listen to their stories of breaking barriers, promoting diversity, and driving innovation in their respective regions and beyond. With these inspiring conversations, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of the global landscape for women in tech and become part of a movement that empowers change on a worldwide scale.
