European Women in Technology 2016:
Developing the future for women in tech

European Women in Tech 2016 is brought to you by the creators of Women of Silicon Roundabout, the UK’s leading women in tech event series.

With Europe being a world leader in technology, this conference has been created to inspire and connect European women working in this sector. Through thought-leadership, interactive panels, and deep-dive workshops, delivered by industry pioneers, this conference enables personal, professional and corporate development.

Attendees gain cutting-edge insights into trends and innovations in tech, leadership, soft skills, and mentorship. The event organisers want to help people and organisations network, discuss and take action on gender diversity issues.

By creating a progressive and positive arena in which both men and women can come together to discuss issues relating to Women in Tech Leadership, female founders, bridging the gender gap, non-technical women in tech and inspiring future generations of girls into the sector, this conference will assist women in tech in maximising their careers and industry development.
