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.
