Colorado’s tech community has been powered by women leaders who dedicated themselves to empowering their teams, organizations, community, and beyond. The WIT Conference celebrated and supported this unique community.

In its 15th year, the WIT Conference is a retreat-style event honoring women across technology. Every year, over 650 women gather to hear from a variety of dynamic speakers and engage in meaningful discourse on technology trends, leadership, and the opportunities and challenges women face while building careers in tech.

We’re excited to host the 2025 WIT Conference in an exciting new location! Join us at the Stockyards Event Center in Denver for this year’s event.

Event Highlights:

  • Inspirational Keynote Speakers: Hear from leading women in tech who have broken barriers and set new standards in their fields. 

  • Panel Discussions: Engage with panels featuring industry experts discussing the subjects 

  • Interactive Workshop: Participate in a hands-on workshop over lunch, designed to empower, educate, and equip you with the tools to thrive in the tech industry. 

  • Luminaries: Connect with our 2024 Luminaries – Luminaries are technology executives and community leaders who join the event to meet our attendees and share their stories through a guided small group discussion. 

  • Networking Opportunities: Make new connections with women in the Colorado tech community, in a supportive and dynamic environment.
