For Women and Girls who love Tech

Spring Forward is a month-long celebration of the role of women in digital culture and runs throughout March in parallel with Women’s History Month. First started in 2014 by Viv Doctorovich and Jenni Lloyd, Rifa is the current festival director, the event has grown to 30 events over the whole month. New website coming soon!

Women of Colour meet ups

An informal group for anyone who identifies as a woman of colour, including non binary people of colour for whom this is a large part of their identity. We meet last Thursday of the month at The Marlborough. It’s chilled and it’s for you, if you’re brown, black or mixed race. We have 300 in the Facebook group since starting in 2018.
