Empowering Australia’s future tech leaders through content, community and connection
Women in Tech Fest 2027 brings together ambitious women in technology to learn, connect, celebrate and build the skills and relationships to get ahead.
Across two energising days, hear candid stories from leading women in tech, the evolving leadership expectations as AI reshapes the way we work, explore the skills and opportunities shaping the future, and gain practical ideas to help you lead through change, build your influence and take your career further.
The experience is built for participation, not just listening. Turn inspiration into action, bring real workplace challenges into conversations with peers and leaders, and learn from people who understand the opportunities and realities of building a career in tech.
And there’s plenty of time to connect along the way. Champagne Roundtables, the Mentor Corner, interactive conversations creates a space to swap ideas, share experiences, meet new people and build relationships that last well beyond the event.
Leave inspired. Return better connected. Make a greater impact with practical skills you can put to work straight away.
