Women in Tech York is a community! We’re made up of individuals studying, working in, or interested in technology. We run events where attendees can share their knowledge and interests, as well as encourage and empower one another whilst building their networks.
Events run on the second Thursday of the month.
As always, there will be a free buffet (vegan options available) thanks to our amazing sponsors Isotoma and Genio. Please let us know about allergies in advance.
We’re bringing together two perspectives on visibility, voice, and impact 🚀
We’re joined by Sophie Lee, author of Beyond Palatable: A Manifesto for Unapologetic Women, to unpack the “too much / not enough” paradox, self-abandonment, and tools to help you live a life of your own design.
After the break, Tamara MacLeod, Service Designer at the Department for Education, will share real stories from designing complex payment services, revealing how small discoveries uncover big opportunities for change. Through practical examples and a short hands-on activity, she’ll explore how service design connects people, policy, and technology, and why the invisible parts of our systems matter just as much as the visible ones!

It’s a look at the human side of tech, the people who keep systems running and showing how design can make their work simpler, clearer, and more joined up.
