Women Techmakers is Google's global program and brand for women in technology. As part of the global event series, we host an annual WTM, in celebration of International Women's Day.

This year, we invite you to IWD London 2023 - a full-day conference where we will hear from various speakers who will inspire, motivate, enthuse, and relate to our audience of everyone, with talks highlighting the achievements of local women in tech.

The theme of this year's event is "Dare to Be" 

We are keen to hear from all potential speakers, but in particular, would love to hear from women who have never presented at a conference before and invite you to step forward and take the leap to share your experience and skills with our audience.

We represent the local community of women in technology - so we would love to hear from you! We are looking for a variety of talks: technical and non-technical, long or lightning talks and workshops, on various topics relevant to our audience who come from different tech backgrounds!

We would love to receive applications from everyone in tech across Uk who self-identify as women. Especially we would like to see speakers of color, Muslim speakers, those with (visible or invisible) disabilities, speakers from the LGBT+ community, and all others from underrepresented groups.

We encourage you to submit multiple talks - each applicant may submit up to 3 and you can edit your submission as long as the CfS is open.

All submissions are anonymised before they are evaluated in order to avoid any bias and will be judged by a panel. Early submissions would be much appreciated.
