FAQ · Identity and audience

What is the central purpose of European Women in Tech?

The conference serves as a gathering point for women across the technology sector to share knowledge, discuss career development, and engage with the structural challenges of gender diversity in the industry. It combines inspirational keynote content with practical workshop formats and formal networking.

Is European Women in Tech open to men and non-binary professionals?

The event explicitly includes allies as part of its target audience, meaning professionals who support gender inclusion in tech are welcome to attend regardless of gender. The programme and community focus remain centred on the experience and advancement of women in the sector.

Is this event primarily a career fair or a conference?

It is a conference first, with a structured programme of keynotes, workshops, and interactive sessions as the primary draw. Exhibition space from around 100 exhibitors adds a product and services dimension, but the editorial programme is the organising principle of the event.

Who is European Women in Tech NOT designed for?
  • Technology buyers whose primary interest is vendor product demonstrations rather than programmatic content
  • Attendees seeking a narrowly sector-specific conference; the programme is generalist across technology disciplines
  • Professionals looking for an event with confirmed speaker lineups several months in advance, as announcements are made relatively close to the event date
  • Organisations or individuals whose objective is purely consumer-facing technology product promotion rather than professional development or B2B dialogue
  • Researchers or academics seeking a peer-reviewed, paper-driven technical conference format
