Exchanging insights straight from our favourite source: our community.

For our second edition of the Women in Tech Awards, we knew we wanted to add a new ingredient to the mix: knowledge exchange.

Having a community filled with experts and leaders in tech – it is a no-brainer that we have to give them a mic and a stage. On the day before our Awards ceremony, Feb 29th, over 650 attendees joined us for our first edition of our Tech Summit in Berlin.

With 42 speakers and over 25 slots to pick from – it was a conference like no other. This wouldn’t have been possible without the help of our partners in crime: Babbel, Clue, Axel Springer NMT and HV Capital.

We made sure to keep it short and sweet, that is why we we divided the afternoon into 4 tracks – so everyone had something to pick from and explore different themes.

Track 1: Engineering & Technical Leadership

As our main track, we made sure our speakers were seasoned engineers, tech visionaries, and aspiring leaders who delved into the art of engineering excellence and impactful leadership. Through thought-provoking discussions and networking opportunities – no doubt our attendees gained invaluable insights and strategies to propel their careers and drive innovation in tech.
