What we’re about
Women In Tech Birmingham will meet up regularly to support, empower, and promote women in the tech industry.
It's well known that women are underrepresented in tech:
- Just 19% of those working in technology in the UK are women.
- Only 15% of students taking computer science A-level courses are female.
- Only 5% of leadership roles in the technology sector are held by women.
- The gender pay gap is 9.6%
This needs to change.
Women In Tech Birmingham wants to:
- Support, encourage and inspire each other. We want to give everyone the confidence to achieve what they want in their careers.
- Challenge the stereotypes that discourage women from studying and applying for job roles in STEM.
- Fight the challenges that women in tech face every day.
- Promote gender equality in the workplace.

See all- Women in Networks, with BTBT Group, Birmingham
Ever thought about a career in Networks at BT? Not 100% sure what Networks is? This is the event for you!
In partnership with BT, this event will explore the different careers in the field of networks. We'll hear from some fantastic women already working in the industry about their experiences, and learn more about how networks underpin so many aspects of our daily lives.
Food and refreshments will be available from 5:45PM. We'll have time for questions, as well as some fun networking games at the end.
Come along to meet new people, say hi to old faces, and learn all about an exciting, but sometimes overlooked, area of tech.

All women with an interest in tech are welcome to attend our events. We also welcome other minority genders in tech who want to attend, but the organisers recognise that we are not able to speak about the unique difficulties that non-binary or other gender diverse people face.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Women in Tech Birmingham are women-led and we will always strive to centre those voices and experiences - while we welcome questions and input from our allies, we also need to ensure that our members feel centred and empowered in discussions. We therefore ask that attendees abide by our Code of Conduct.
Please take a minute to familiarise yourself with this here.
