International Women’s Day 2026

International Women’s Day (IWD) is Women Techmakers’ largest annual campaign where Ambassadors host and speak at events all around the world during the months of March and April.

2026 IWD Theme: Break the Pattern

Breaking the pattern means to stop accepting things just because they’ve always been that way. This is the moment to disrupt old biases, step into spaces where we weren’t expected, and rewrite the rules of who gets to shape technology’s future.

AGENDA:

• 18:30 – 18:40 | Opening, Welcome & Keynote "Break the Pattern" -Vicky Pirker
• 18:40 – 18:55 | Diverse Faces, Real Impact? The Role Model Reality Check - Mag. Nela Pećić
• 19:00 – 19:15 | Courage Over Perfection – If you're considering a future in tech, this is the perspective you don't want to miss. - Sabine Julius
• 19:20 – 19:35 | Speaking Up in Tech: Competence Isn't Enough. Here's What Actually Gets You Heard. - Karin Feldinger
• 19:40 – 19:55 | The Day I Didn't Click "Submit" - Regina Kainz
• 19:55 – 20:30 | Closing & Networking

Join us for an inspiring evening of honest conversations, bold ideas, and real connections, because breaking the pattern starts with showing up.
