Did you know that the UK tech workforce is only 26% female? We want to change that.

Here at Ticket Tailor our team is 48% female, which we think is pretty good going. And today, on International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the brilliance of women: in our community of event organisers, our team, and beyond. Keep reading to hear from some of the women that make up our team, about challenges we’ve faced, achievements in our careers and personal lives, and our future ambitions and advice for women looking to work in the tech industry.

IWD may only be a one-day event in the calendar, but taking strides to forge a gender equal world is a year-round, long term commitment. And we firmly believe that together can forge gender equality, and #EmbraceEquity.

Now, settle in with a cuppa and get ready to meet the team.👇

As International Women’s Day (IWD) comes around each year, we find ourselves getting seriously inspired by the incredible events popping up on our platform here at Ticket Tailor.

“Together we can forge women’s equality,” promises the IWD website, and we believe it’s events like these👇 that well and truly give this statement legs. From the dimly-lit story reading evenings that celebrate women writers, through to the tequila-fuelled dance nights and eye-opening panel discussions; these female-focused happenings really do come in all shapes and sizes.

Of course, they all have one thing in common: a steadfast commitment to celebrating the dazzling, no-holds-barred brilliance of women. And through it, each event – no matter how big or small – takes us one step closer to a more gender equal world. That’s pretty powerful stuff, we’d say.
So, without further ado, here are five brilliant events we’re celebrating this International Women’s Day. We hope you find them as inspiring as we do… who knows, maybe this time next year you could be seeing your own event featured on the list!
