Welcome to #wetechtogether
#wetechtogether is Switzerland’s leading conference for empowering women in tech – and anyone who’s passionate about building a more inclusive industry. For two days, we bring together forward-thinking companies, diverse female-led tech communities, passionate professionals, and curious allies.

This was #wetechtogether 2025
What attendees say
#wetechtogether 2025 has received a lot of positive reviews from attendees. Here’s a glimpse of what they had to say about their experience:
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 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.
