Join us for a fun-filled evening to discuss all things tech and celebrate the women who are making their mark on the Industry 4.0 scene.

Everybody is welcome to join…. And the best thing is you don’t have to be a “techy”!!

We are a network of women and men with the same vision, to see gender parity by 2030.

Our inspiring speakers will change your perspective on an industry that may seem scary & inaccessible.

This month’s topic is the Future of Programming, Blockchain and Fintech


Learn, laugh and connect with like-minded people.


And... you can become part of the Revolution by donating :)


We have a dream, to inspire every tech-curious woman to join the technology revolution by providing them with a diverse array of female role models, access to the resources that they need and a mentor for life. Our vision is that by 2030, 50% of the tech space is occupied by women.


To keep our events running and to help us to develop the #girlslikeme mentorship programme we have added an option to allow you to donate as little or as much as you like. We have suggested a £5 donation, to cover the costs of hosting our event.
