This in-person session hosted by Halzak | Elevate Women in Tech and WeJobBox is part of WeAreTechWomen’s second annual UK Women in Tech Week, taking place October 13-17. This nationwide initiative brings together virtual and in-person events celebrating women’s impact across the tech industry.
Session Overview
The UK tech sector is in crisis, and the problem isn’t what you think.
A groundbreaking 2025 Lovelace Report, published in July, reveals that the industry is losing £2-3.5 billion annually due to women leaving their roles.
This isn’t a “women’s issue” – it’s a system failure that’s holding back the UK’s entire digital and AI ambitions.
Join us for an eye-opening session as part of WeAreTechWomen’s UK Women in Tech Week. We’ll dive deep into the real reasons for this exodus.
We’ll hear from tech’s emerging talent about their experiences and explore how we can all work together to build a more inclusive industry.
This is your chance to learn how inclusive design and allyship (not just the male kind!) can transform talent retention. It’s about more than just strategies; it’s about building supportive communities.
You’ll discover powerful networks like Elevate and WeJobBox that are driving real change.
Whether you’re exploring a career in tech, leading a team, or just an ally committed to making a difference, you’ll walk away with concrete tools and a network dedicated to making the tech world better for everyone.
