About this event
An evening of networking, inspirational speakers and discussion for International Women’s Day
Join Women in Tech Dorset for an evening of networking, inspirational speakers and discussion in celebration of International Women's Day. The event is open to all and will explore and celebrate the diverse opportunities in tech in Dorset.
The UK tech sector is one of the strongest in the world, and is vital for driving growth and jobs across the entire country. The Fawcett Society report 'System Update: Addressing the gender gap in Tech' highighted how much work remains to leverage the considerable skills of women in Tech and retain this talent.
Developing the technical and professional skills of women in tech roles often requires innovative and inclusive approaches. Join us to explore how to significantly enhance the development of technical and professional skills for women in tech roles and foster more inclusive and equitable workplaces. Case studies aligned to the WiTD playbook will be shared.
