What is Women In Tech Week?
WeAreTechWomen is proud to present the third annual UK Women in Tech Week, taking place from October 12th to 16th. Once again, the week aligns with Ada Lovelace Day, which falls on the second Tuesday of October. This nationwide initiative brings together a vibrant line-up of virtual and in-person events celebrating the impact of women across the tech industry.
In partnership with leading organisations and Women in Tech networks, the week will offer inspiring panels, practical workshops, and meaningful networking opportunities. Through our website, attendees can easily book their spots for these events.
Additionally, we’ll be leveraging various social media platforms, including LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube, to livestream events and engage with a wider audience. We’re collaborating with corporate partners across the UK who will open their doors to host local events, offering keynotes, interviews, panels, practical workshops and networking opportunities for women in their area.
The week is divided into themed focus days across the five days of Women In Tech Week 2026. To explore each day’s theme, click here.
Why Women In Tech Week?
Despite growing awareness, the sector still faces systemic challenges. Our recently released Lovelace Report with partners Oliver Wyman has highlighted a £2-3.5 billion loss to the tech industry due to broken systems that hinder the progression of women in the sector. The report also states that women are leaving the industry at twice the rate of men, equating to 100 women exiting every day! This talent drain is not only a loss of potential but is actively costing the UK economy billions of pounds each year.
With just 20% of the UK’s tech workforce made up of women, and with government commitments to scale the AI workforce, this is not the time to slow down. It’s time to step up.
