The #1 Business & Tech Event for Women in the UK

Important Announcement: Women in Business & Tech Expo

We regret to announce that Karren Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo will not take place this year in Manchester or London.

Due to challenging market conditions and reduced exhibitor support, which are expected to persist into 2025, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s events. Our priority has always been to deliver a top-tier experience for the amazing women in our community, and under the current circumstances, this would not be achievable.

We remain optimistic that market conditions will improve in 2026, and we will carefully consider bringing the Expo back in the future. Your unwavering support and enthusiasm have been truly inspiring over the past five years.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our partners, exhibitors, speakers, sponsors and visitors. We look forward to seeing your businesses and careers flourish in the years ahead!

Warm regards,
The Women in Business & Tech Expo Team

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!

Karren Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo, 1-2 October 2025, ExCeL London is the industry-leading hiring event for those who aspire to thrive in their professional careers and grow their businesses.

While we are seeing more businesses address the gender gap in technology, women still only account for around 26% of people working in the sector and without diversity and equality, the technology and business sectors are being held back.

Did you know the tech sector has a ‘leaky pipeline’ of recruits? While we are seeing more women earn a tech degree, less than a third are working in the field after graduation.

Whether you are a developer, analyst, engineer, programmer, data scientist or in marketing, sales or finance roles, or are an aspiring tech professional, the award-winning female-led event provides inspiration, guidance, recruitment opportunities, and services to supercharge your professional journey at all stages within the technology and business sectors.

Karren Brady’s Women in Business & Tech Expo offers visitors the opportunity to…

• find employers that empower their female workforce
• learn how to progress in tech or enter the field
• discover companies invested in the success of women at work
• develop your personal brand
• connect with organisations and leaders that champion women
• launch a new business or franchise
• explore new career options when returning after a break
• learn how retraining, upskilling, and reskilling could change your career path
