#addher – Australia’s largest network for women in IT

#addher is an external network for IT/Tech women. About 30% of the industry’s professionals are woman. For more woman to enter the industry and take on roles and positions, those who are active must be seen more often. #addher is one of our concrete initiatives to enable a positive change.

“There are no women in the IT/tech industry” or “They don’t have enough expertise to…”. We firmly claim the opposite and believe in concrete actions to challenge similar statements or beliefs. We know that a good balance between the proportion of women and men in our industry is crucial. Over the years, we have therefore invested heavily into concrete women-oriented initiatives.

The goal of #addher is to get our fantastic IT/Tech women to take their place, in all roles, and to attract more women to our industry.

#addher was launched in 2010, and it has grown exponentially and has been one of Australia’s largest networks for women in the IT/Tech industry for a few years, with about 7000 members in 17 locations. We meet several times a year in each local network and our events include both hard (latest technology) and soft (inspirational sessions) topics. From time to time, we also have national events.

In #addher, we encourage anyone – both our own members and industry friends – to make their female colleagues visible in our #addher groups on LinkedIn. There we gather them and boosting their expertise and visibility, for anyone that is looking for talented women for their events, projects or networks – even for your board or/and management team.

Our 17 locations

#addher is located in Borlänge, Gävle, Göteborg, Helsingborg, Jönköping, Karlstad, Linköping, Luleå, Malmö, Skövde, Stockholm, Sundsvall, Umeå, Uppsala, Västerås, Örebro and Örnsköldsvik.
