About Women of Silicon Valley

Women of Silicon Valley enables people and organisations to connect, learn and take action on gender diversity and inclusion. We do not shy away from controversy and we look to open people’s minds to new ideas by pushing boundaries.

Through inspirational keynotes, panel discussions on business strategy, technical classes, and career development workshops, this conference provides all the content and networking opportunities needed to flourish in the tech sector.

Beginning with one small event three years ago, Women of Silicon Valley has grown rapidly and is now the ‘one to watch’ out of a global series. The Women in Tech World Series is an international sensation, changing the game for women in the UK, Australia, mainland Europe and soon Africa, India, China and Canada.
