What we’re about
The purpose of "Women in Digital Switzerland" is to bring together women working in digital in Switzerland, encourage thought leadership, networking, and sharing of best practices through discussion and presentations.
Our meetups are a 'for the community, by the community' type of event. Monthly presentations are held by community members and topics are chosen by the volunteer speaker or the community.
Lastly, -- and we are asked this quite often! -- yes, men are welcome to join our meetups too!

- Neurodiversity at WorkLink visible for attendees
It is estimated that 15-20% of people are Neurodivergent in some form, but despite this, it is often considered a niche term and it is not always fully understood, if at all.
Register on the WDS website here: https://www.womenindigitalswitzerland.com/event-details/neurodiversity-at-work
Join us as we learn about Neurodiversity and how it can play a key role in transforming our workplace, why Neurodivergent skills are a key asset, and how we can best nurture them so that they thrive. This event will give companies the opportunity to tap into a much-hidden level of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion while focusing on centring Neurodivergent individuals and empowering them to bring their unique talents to the workplace.
The event will consist of a panel discussion followed by Q&A, with breaks given.
Who is this event for?
Anyone can join this event (and this is not limited to only women). We especially recommend it for HR professionals and managers. If you work with people, then this event is a must.
