The TechWomen100 awards are back and this year, we’re going bigger, louder and prouder than ever before.

Now in our ninth year, the WeAreTechWomen TechWomen100 awards shine a spotlight on the incredible women in tech who are breaking new ground, across every sector, at every level below director. These are the future leaders, coders, engineers, creatives and changemakers driving real impact today.

But this isn’t just about individual recognition, it’s about celebrating the collective movement that’s transforming the face of tech. We’re championing the allies, companies and communities helping to open doors, challenge the status quo and build a better, fairer industry for all.

Event Details

Set on the tranquil banks of the River Thames, Henley’s historic Greenlands campus offers the perfect backdrop for a day of reflection, connection, and growth. Surrounded by sweeping lawns, mature trees, and the calming river, it’s a place that sparks creativity, clarity, and fresh perspective.

Designed for early to mid-career women across industries who want practical tools they can use immediately, this one-day retreat follows the Kinspace KIN framework – Know, Inspire, Navigate – guiding you to:

Know yourself deeply: uncover your core values, beliefs, and strengths
Inspire your next chapter: break free from cultural and inherited beliefs that no longer serve you
Navigate forward with confidence: own your voice and create a plan you can action immediately.

This is not just a feel-good day. It’s sustainable learning – you will leave with your own action and implementation plan tailored to your life, so you can apply what you’ve learned immediately and keep building momentum long after the retreat.

In the afternoon, slow down and reconnect with your senses in a mindful pressed flower card crafting, writing to self and picture workshop. We’ll ask a few questions ahead of time so we can pair you by goals and stage, and tailor examples to your context. Then, step outdoors for a unique partner reflection in nature – partnering with both the landscape and each other to inspire deeper insight and grounded action.

To help you stay accountable and supported, you’ll have the option to join three monthly follow-up group sessions (at a separate price) designed to check in on your progress, troubleshoot challenges, and keep you moving towards your goals.

This is a confidential and supportive space with limited seats to ensure meaningful connection and participation.

Time: 9:00 AM -4:30 PMT
