Celebrating Women in Tech from 13–17 October 2025
WeAreTechWomen, we are proud to bring back Women in Tech Week, the global celebration of women in technology. Following the incredible success of last year’s inaugural launch, the initiative returns from 13 to 17 October 2025, timed to coincide with Ada Lovelace Day.
Launched in 2024, Women in Tech Week quickly grew from a small vision of 10 events into a movement of more than 70 in-person sessions across 20 UK cities, alongside 30+ virtual events. Supported by over 100 organisations, the week showcased the collective energy and commitment across the sector to champion gender equity in tech.
This year, WeAreTechWomen is set to go even further, partnering with corporate sponsors, industry groups, community interest companies and charities to deliver a dynamic programme that addresses the systemic barriers women continue to face in technology.
Why this matters
The urgency hasn’t changed. Despite the progress made, only 20% of the UK tech workforce is female. The recent Lovelace Report with Oliver Wyman revealed that women are still leaving tech roles at twice the rate of men, a talent drain that’s costing the economy billions and stalling innovation.
Budget cuts, disbanded DEI teams and shelved progression schemes have all contributed to growing concerns around retention, representation and real change. That’s why Women in Tech Week is more than an event series, it’s a call to lead the change.
What to expect in 2025
Across five themed days, Women in Tech Week will blend in-person and online events hosted by WeAreTechWomen and its partners. The sessions are free to attend and will include keynotes, panels, career clinics, coding demos, workshops, LinkedIn Lives and mentoring opportunities. Open to anyone working in or aspiring to join tech.
