“Last Women Standing": The Fight to Keep Women in Tech on the Map Amidst Funding Cuts

The tech sector is facing a critical challenge: women are increasingly leaving the industry. But as Dr. Vanessa Vallely OBE, founder of We Are Tech Women, reveals, the answer isn't just about attracting new talent, but passionately fostering a vibrant, nationwide community for those already here.

Inspired by Ada Lovelace Day, Women in Tech Week is a grassroots movement that defied expectations, growing from an idea to 70 events in its first year, spanning from Falmouth to Edinburgh. Despite facing significant funding cuts in the wider industry, Vanessa discusses how they've doubled corporate interest this year, spotlighting crucial topics like AI, cyber, and the impacts of the Lovelace Report. This conversation explores the power of community, the fight for visibility, and why putting "Women in Tech on the map" is more vital than ever to ensure a thoughtful and honest tech culture for all leaders, builders, and learners.
