Connection
At the heart of WIT is authentic, human connection: spaces where wāhine, gender and ethnic minorities build relationships, share experiences, and support one another. Tech can be isolating; we create an intentional space for belonging.

Safe, inclusive spaces where wāhine in tech belong.
Wāhine in Tech is a volunteer-led community creating casual, social spaces where women and gender minorities in tech connect, kōrero, and grow together personally and professionally.

Our values
Our vision is a thriving, connected community where wāhine and gender minorities feel safe, valued, and encouraged to shape the future of tech together.
Inclusivity
We prioritise safe environments where everyone, including non-binary, gender and ethnic minorities, is welcomed, seen, and respected. True inclusion is emotional safety, visibility, and celebration of our differences. You do not have to present in a femme manner to be welcomed.
Stewardship
We champion community and career development, sharing our industry experience, knowledge and networks to help others grow, leading by example and role-modelling a more equitable, inclusive future for tech.
Our kaupapa, vision and values were shaped by the awesome Maria Rose (文妮), with thanks to our contributors Devi, Gisela, Jo & Hyojin.
Gatherings
Our events
We exist to foster meaningful connections, uplift one another, and empower the next generation to lead with confidence. Through our events and gatherings, we aim to role model a more collaborative and inclusive future for the Wellington tech sector.
What started as casual gatherings has evolved into a growing, empowering network fostering friendships, career growth, and collective strength.

Wāhine in Tech Wellington is run by volunteers. At the moment, that's the four of us.
We're very open to people tapping in and out depending on their energy levels and availability throughout the year, so contribute in whatever way suits you.
Everyone is welcome, and no organising experience is needed. If you're interested or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We'd love to hear from you.
