Women in Tech Summit Poland

Women in Tech Summit Poland is one of CEE's largest gatherings dedicated to women working in technology, gathering engineers, product managers, founders and executives in Warsaw for a multi-day programme of keynotes, workshops and career-focused sessions.

What happens

The summit combines headline keynotes from senior women in tech with parallel tracks on technical leadership, product management, founder experience and career navigation. Workshops on specific skills — public speaking, salary negotiation, technical interviewing, building inclusive teams — run alongside the main programme. Recruitment partners run dedicated meeting tracks, and the closing networking reception is widely cited as one of the year's strongest single networking events for women in Polish and CEE tech.

Who attends

The audience is primarily women working in technology across Poland and the wider CEE region — software engineers, product managers, data scientists, designers, technical leadership and founders. Allies and male attendees are welcomed and form a meaningful share of the audience. Companies send delegations from engineering and product teams, often combined with talent-acquisition representatives. The event draws a strong contingent from financial services technology — Polish banks, fintechs and payment companies build active engineering teams in Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw.

Dominant themes

Each edition's agenda emphasises the practical challenges of building and advancing tech careers — performance reviews, promotion processes, inclusive engineering culture, navigating bias in hiring and progression. Technical content covers AI and machine learning applications, cloud architecture, security engineering and product analytics with a strong applied focus. Founder content draws from the growing population of women-led startups across CEE. Diversity and inclusion in product design and engineering culture receive substantial coverage, alongside topics such as parental leave, return-to-work programmes and the specific challenges facing women in technical leadership.

Planning to attend

Warsaw is well-connected by air across Europe with cost-competitive hotel pricing relative to comparable Western European conference cities. The event is officially English-speaking, removing language friction for international visitors. Many sessions sell out, particularly the smaller workshop formats — early registration is recommended for delegates who want to lock specific tracks rather than rely on overflow seating. The event coincides with broader Polish tech-community activity, so combining with adjacent meetups and startup events extends the value of the trip.
