Women Of Silicon Roundabout 2016,

About the event

 Why is it that men dominate the tech industry? Women make up 38% of mathematics graduates, however under half of female STEM graduates go into tech-focussed careers, while 68% of their male counterparts are persuing jobs in this sphere of business. 

Hear from the women at the top of Europe's tech landscape about the barriers and challenges faced by women in this industry and how these obstacles can be overcome. This conference will address internal company culture and structure, recruitment issues, talent retention and the traditional gender hierarchies associated with European institutions. We will also investigate how you can avoid being a "Jimmy" by improving your skills portfolio to ensure career progression, personal development and ultimately success as a technology professional.

This event is for code slingers of all descriptions, looking to gain insight into the technical and practical developments in the tech industry that will help to close the gender gap and open up the industry to women and girls. Gain insight from senior technicians and entrepreneurs through interactive sessions, great networking and leading content.

Join us to scrutinise the reasons behind women being under-represented in technology and how we can encourage more women to make up a higher percentage of this workforce. We will be exploring the future of the tech industry and how you can ensure you are ahead of the curve.

Gender diversity is modern business and in order to keep the private and public sectors developing, it is vital that the talent pool is expanded.
