One Tech World is the flagship global virtual conference from WeAreTechWomen, designed to empower, inspire, and advance women in technology worldwide.
Taking place on 20 March 2026, this free, online event brings together thousands of women to explore emerging technologies, build critical skills, and connect with a global community shaping the future of tech.
Since launching One Tech World in 2020, WeAreTechWomen has welcomed over 13,000 women globally to learn, connect, and be inspired. Built on more than a decade of championing women in technology through conferences, events, and community initiatives, One Tech World has become a powerful catalyst for progress at a time when the industry cannot afford to lose female talent.
The need for change is urgent. Despite ongoing efforts, systemic barriers continue to push women out of technology roles. The Lovelace Report, produced with Oliver Wyman, revealed a £2–3.5 billion loss to the industry caused by systems that hold women back.
Women leave tech at twice the rate of men, with an estimated 100 women exiting the sector every day, costing the UK economy billions annually. With women representing just 20% of the UK tech workforce, and rapid expansion planned across AI and emerging technologies, the industry must act now.
One Tech World exists to broaden the vision of what technology looks like and who builds it. By spotlighting innovation, emerging trends, and diverse role models, the conference encourages women from all backgrounds to explore, enter, and thrive in tech careers.
While one event alone cannot achieve gender parity, One Tech World plays a vital role in accelerating change by equipping women with practical insights, confidence, skills, and networks.
In 2026, the conference will deliver its seventh global virtual learning experience on a cutting-edge digital platform. Attendance remains completely FREE, thanks to the incredible support of partners and sponsors.
