Women in Tech: Inspiring Stories Event
Posted August 12, 2025On Wednesday 8th October from 10am – 2pm we’re excited to be hosting a brand-new event with Atradius Collections, Women in Tech: Inspiring Stories, proudly sponsored by Perago.
Bringing together inspiring women leading the way in digital, engineering, transformation and data, the event will feature a live panel discussion, company spotlights, and time to connect with peers from across the industry.
The event will create a space for open, honest, and thought-provoking conversations that challenge the norm, spotlight brilliant women driving change, and inspire the next generation.
But it’s not just for women, you’ll be sharing the room with professionals who are championing diversity, supporting inclusion, and want to help shift the dial in a meaningful way, regardless of gender, to build more inclusive teams. This will be a fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded peers and build connections for the future.
Why This Matters
This event is building upon our ongoing initiative exploring the real experiences of women and AFAB in tech. Through a series of interviews with professionals at all stages of their career, common themes began to emerge, including those around imposter syndrome, confidence, and feeling of being along in those challenges.
Women in Tech: Inspiring Stories will give those conversations a platform. It’s about sharing honest stories, building confidence through connection, and reminding attendees that they are not along, no matter where they are in their career. For employers, we hope this event will inspire them to reflect on how they can create environments where confidence is nurtured, inclusion is intentional, and people feel empowered to grow.
