In connection with International Women’s Day, ITU NextGen invites you to an afternoon celebrating women in IT, tech, and entrepreneurship – to empower women of the next generation.
The tech industry is still far from balanced, and women remain underrepresented across both technical careers and entrepreneurship. On this day, we strengthen visibility, confidence, and community, while providing inspiration, perspective, and practical tools for navigating a still male-dominated field.
We bring together tech professionals, ITU alumnae, experts, and female founders who share real experiences from careers and entrepreneurship. Through keynote talks and networking, you will gain new insights, meet role models, and connect with others who are shaping the future of tech.
The event is open to everyone, regardless of gender, career stage, plans, or ambitions. Both ITU and external participants are most welcome, and we hope to see you on this cheerful day. So grab a friend and spend your afternoon at the IT University of Copenhagen!
Hear our rector, Per Bruun Brockhoff, welcome us and speak about the importance of being a true ally.
Listen to Sophia Evtimova, Head of Data Science & AI at a large company (and ITU alumna), talk about what it feels like to be the only woman in a room full of male colleagues – and how to navigate it.
Join Farnaz Aref, who will share how unconscious bias can show up in job interviews and investor conversations – and how to flip risk-focused questions into growth-driven answers.
Meet our female founders panel, including Nicole Jonasson, co-founder of Softer.
And sharpen your ears as podcast host and tech expert David Guldager rounds off the day with a talk about 3 tech shifts - and how they will change our lives.
Our star host for the day is ITU student Cathrine Mary Norvold.
Goodiebags for the first 30 participants to arrive!
Stickers, snacks, cake, and drinks for all!
We end the evening with a well-served finger food buffet, networking, and great music vibes.

A huge thank you to café Analog for sponsoring coffee for this event!
You no longer build a startup sequentially. You orchestrate it. In this hands-on session, we'll show you how to stop working sequentially and start running your startup like a system.
Join us for a talk and community breakfast served in ScrollBar. All you have to do is sign up and show up!
