WTM Berlin IWD 2026 | Break the Pattern: Women Redefining Tech

For International Women’s Day 2026, the global theme is Break the Pattern.
Breaking the pattern means refusing to accept things simply because they’ve always been done that way. It’s about challenging outdated norms, disrupting bias, and stepping into spaces where women were not always expected.

Technology shapes our world — but who gets to shape technology?

Join us in Berlin for an inspiring evening hosted by Women Techmakers Berlin in Collaboration with OJIN AixHaus where we’ll explore how women and allies are challenging traditional paths in tech, redefining leadership, and building a more inclusive future.
