What we’re about
The LGBT+Tech Barcelona MeetUp is a place for sharing & caring about LGBT+ diversity and inclusion in the technology sector. We all care about our work and we’re (almost) all geeks. How can we benefit from diversity and be better by embracing that we're all different? We’re a group of LGBT+ volunteers that work in tech, and we want to learn from others, help, and share ideas.
Whether you’re LGBT+ yourself, care about diversity, are curious about how others deal with it, or have just started a company and are shaping your culture… this is the place to talk!
Join our WhatsApp group if you want to be the first to know about new events and other social activities.

Happy Pride Month, Barcelona! 🌈 LGBT+Tech Barcelona is back with our June Edition – and we’re turning up the heat thanks to our amazing sponsor and longtime friends from Oracle! Expect pizzas, beers, soft drinks, and epic networking, plus two incredible talks from voices within our community that you simply can’t miss.
🎤 First up, we’re honored to welcome Iris Latour, Principal UX Researcher and advocate for inclusive design. In her dynamic Lightning Talk:
“Inclusive Design Thinking”,
Iris will share her expertise in AI ethics and design justice, revealing why inclusive design isn’t just a buzzword – it’s a movement. Whether she’s questioning the future of UX or reading sci-fi with her pitbull Greg, Iris brings fresh perspectives that will challenge and inspire us all.🎤 Next, we’re thrilled to bring our own Glenn Wolfschoon to the stage! A Backend Software Developer and DEI champion, Glenn’s talk:
“The Importance of DEI”
will weave together his journey from an LGBT ERG coordinator to his work with Extreme Programming – and why he believes diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the heart of building truly great tech.🔥 Don’t miss this chance to fuel your brain, fill your belly, and build meaningful connections with Barcelona’s vibrant LGBT+ tech community. Let’s make this one unforgettable!
