Willkommen zur #wetechtogether
#wetechtogether ist die führende Schweizer Konferenz zur Stärkung von Frauen in der Tech-Branche – und für alle, die leidenschaftlich an einer inklusiveren Tech Branche arbeiten möchten. Zwei Tage lang bringen wir zukunftsorientierte Unternehmen, diverse von Frauen geführte Tech-Communities, engagierte Fachleute und neugierige Verbündete zusammen.
Das Ergebnis? Ein lebendiger Raum zum Lernen, Vernetzen und Feiern von Diversität.
Dies ist keine typische Tech-Konferenz.
Wir begrüssen Menschen aus allen Bereichen – egal ob du tief in der Branche verwurzelt bist, gerade erst anfängst oder einfach erkundest, wie eine Zukunft in der Tech-Branche aussehen könnte. Keine Programmierkenntnisse erforderlich. Nur Neugier, Ehrgeiz und eine offene Einstellung.
Das war #wetechtogether 2025
Was Teilnehmende sagen
Die #wetechtogether Konferenz 2025 hat viele positive Bewertungen von Teilnehmenden erhalten. Hier ein Einblick in das, was sie über ihre Erfahrung zu sagen hatten:
I liked that the conference was organised by women for women. It felt like a community and everybody was so nice. The people attending the fair, the people who organised the workshops and the sponsors.
The workshops were interactive, fun and made us all see our career path from a different angle.
The keynote on Saturday was brilliant!
I loved that the women leaders who founded a company talked about their experiences, and among the audience, there were 18-20-year-old girls. I loved that they got a chance to listen to the very inspiring women. This is really powerful.
Nowadays, many companies highlight values such as diversity and inclusion, but not many
truly put these values into practice like at #wetechtogether.
