Providing Platforms for Women* in Tech.
We’re creating the foundations for a more inclusive and equitable tech industry in the UK. It all starts with building up a network we can rely on that understands our experiences.

You're invited to an inspiring morning at Sunderland City Hall to listen to the stories and insights from two incredible female founders, Rojin Yarahmadi & Victoria Smith. We’ll host a Q&A panel with our sponsors, Sage, before coffee, cake and conversation.
I feel like women in tech can change the world.
You’re a part of it.
We need YOU. Whether you’re just getting started in tech or at the top of your career, your voice is needed in the conversation around building a more inclusive and equitable tech industry in the UK.

Become a Volunteer
You Can Be the Change
We need all the assistance we can get when it comes to events, admin, and even pushing more support out for our members. Please let us know if you can volunteer your time to anything from managing data to managing an online community. We are striving for more capacity, and YOU can help us!
Sponsor an Event
Be Centerstage
We’re always thrilled to find sponsors to help us host our inclusive and alcohol-free events. As a sponsor you not only have the opportunity to showcase your company as a DEI ally, you can also have a speaker represent your company on the panel, as a host, or in another format we can collaborate on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you host an event at my place of business?
Because our events are community-focused and led, you should become a part of our community before you start thinking about hosting an event with us. We’re all about collaboration, but we should make sure we're a good fit first.
I’m an ally. Can I come to an event?
Our events are usually exclusively for attendees who are women*, but not about excluding our male allies. They are about holding space for conversations and challenges that are experienced by women* in the tech industry without having to explain the subtext of our daily experiences. If you are an ally, we would love for you to share our events with your co-workers, encourage your supervisor to send members of staff who could benefit from our organisation, or even sponsor an event with us.
And in 2025, we're running our first event for all genders to have a wider conversation about allyship...
And, hey, thanks for understanding the need to have something that allows us to connect with each other. The fact that you “get it” is pretty great.
I would LOVE to speak at a Women In Tech NE event. Where do I sign up?
Your first step is to attend a Women in Tech NE event.
The next step would be to become a member. (It’s free, don’t worry!)
We source our themes, event structures, and topics from issues our members are looking for help or support with. We’d love to hear what you want to speak about so that we can incorporate your knowledge into the mix.
What does sponsorship entail?
Right now, sponsorship is a collaborative effort between Women in Tech NE Volunteer Board and the sponsor. Typically, a sponsor has attended an event in the past.
Women in Tech NE will collaborate with the sponsor to determine format, theme, and topics covered and select a date for the event. The sponsor is responsible for securing a venue (or hosting), providing refreshments, and providing a speaker at the event if they so choose.
