The best women in tech events of 2027 are where technical women meet the people they will build with: co-founders, first hires, customers and investors. These are the ten worth the trip or the login, from Warsaw and London to New York, Denver, Vancouver and Rio de Janeiro, plus two you can join online.
This list is for women who build: engineers, data and AI specialists, security experts, product people and the founders among them. We checked every date on the organiser's own website and mark each one as Confirmed (date on the official site), Announced (date only on the organiser's ticket page or another reliable source) or Expected (based on past editions only). Nine of the ten are Confirmed for 2027. Looking for events about raising money and running a company? See our startup events for women founders.

How to get the most out of a women in tech event
- Decide what you need first. A co-founder, a first engineer, a customer and an investor are found in different rooms: a career fair, a technical track or a pitch stage.
- Use the cheap options. One Tech World is free, LWTSUMMIT has a free virtual pass and the Perspektywy summit sells online tickets for 290 PLN.
- Book the women in tech tickets early. Web Summit releases them to its community first, and in Doha they are already sold out.
- Bring a short demo. At the WomenTech Network startup day, demos last ten minutes; practise yours before you go.
- Follow up within a week. A short note with one clear ask turns a conversation into a hire, a pilot or an intro.
