Growth

Every attendee who comes to our event should feel part of something meaningful. We cultivate small communities at Web Summit and help them thrive long after each event. Come meet other incredible women in your industry.

Community

Learn from the women in tech community at Web Summit. As Inc. Magazine put it, Web Summit “attracts a diverse list of world-class speakers, and facilitates content that inspires and empowers attendees”.

Learning

From the Women in Tech Lounge to Night Summit, grow your network, attend meetups and set up meetings. Mingle with other women in tech and build your professional network. Discover new potential mentors – or mentees.

Networking

As part of our commitment to fostering a more equitable tech community, we publish an annual Women in Tech Survey, which aims to gain valuable insights into some of the issues women face in the workplace.
We hope to be part of the change necessary to create a more equitable industry, and that our survey, as well as other similar research, will help urge workplaces and organisations to broach these topics and make progress.
