About this Event

Welcome to Women in Tech York's July event!



Who are we?

Women in Tech York is a community! We're made up of individuals studying, working in, or interested in technology. We run events where attendees can share their knowledge and interests, as well as encourage and empower one another whilst building their networks.

Our events are not exclusive to women; absolutely everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a coder or consider yourself technical to enjoy and benefit from our events. We welcome all students and career-changers who are interested in learning more about tech and careers in the industry.

Events run on the second Thursday of the month.

As always, there will be a free buffet (vegan options available) thanks to our amazing sponsors Isotoma, Genio and Jammed. Please let us know about allergies in advance.




Our Goals

Our monthly events are designed to compliment our goals:

Feel included – Join a space where everyone is welcome.

Explore your options – Discover new paths, ideas, and technologies.

Grow your network – Connect with like-minded people

Learn something new – Gain insights from speakers, panels, and discussions.

Because we mix up the format each month, some events will be more social, while others might focus on talks or structured networking.



This month...

A single connection. A conversation at a meetup. A moment that sparks something bigger than you'd ever expect.
This talk explores the ripple effect of Women in Tech York - using Isotoma and its people as a real-world example of how small moments of community can create transformational change. From individual careers to workplace changes, and beyond into York's wider tech scene, we'll look at how the connections made in this room don't just matter — they multiply.


This month our event is designed to help you feel included.

FAQS

Can you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?

We always do our best to cater for everyone. If you let us know about your requirements at least 4 days in advance we'll pass them on to the venue and ask them to accommodate. A vegan buffet is ordered by default.

If you have concerns about the food on the night then please speak to a member of staff. Nutritional information can be found on Revolution's website. We order a buffet which typically includes mini burgers, fries, salads, garlic bread and small snacks. If you need to know what food will be provided ahead of time please let us know.
