A community for
women who code
in Belgium
Hi and welcome to women.code(be)!
We are a small community for local women who code, who are looking to meet others with the same interest in coding.
Each year we host four editions of our women-only TechTalks events where we invite guest speakers, each time in a different city. But we also do casual evenings where we gather in a local pub for drinks and small gatherings such as game and/or dinner nights.
A safe space where women coders meet their fellow peers
We focus on connecting women who code here in Belgium, by sharing stories, knowledge and interests. With this community, we hope to lift up, inspire and empower fellow women.

"A lot of people have this misconception that when you start advertising opportunities to women and minorities in tech that it means you’ve lowered the bar. No. The fact is that the voices of women and minorities are often drowned out and they might not have even had a fighting chance at being considered in the first place."
