On Thursday 23rd January, join Women Driven Development at the Sky offices for a full day of panels, presentations, workshops and networking. Our goal is to bring together tech minds to give talks that are idea focused and on a wide range of subjects, to encourage learning, provoke conversations and to inspire.
The WDD Conference will showcase incredible women and non-binary people in tech and the fantastic work they are doing.
Join us to get the lowdown on the wide range of jobs in tech, see how different technologies are solving real world problems, gain inspiration for new projects, and meet supportive, badass people in this exciting industry.
Whether you have been working in tech for a while, are just starting out or simply thinking of making the leap, WDD will bring you inspiration, support and connections to help you succeed. Let's tech things forward together!
The day will be made up of demos, lightning talks and panel discussions. Expect to gain insight into different roles and technologies through practical demonstrations and inspirational talks.
