Session Abstract

Today, women are more visible in Tech than ever before - but still far too rare on stages, in leadership roles and as visible role models. In this panel, we’ll talk about two core questions: How can we inspire more women and girls to choose a path into tech? And how do we encourage the women already here to speak up, share their stories and become role models and mentors? Our panelists will share honest experiences about confidence, bias and visibility – but focus on what practically helps: first talks, first panels, first mentoring steps, and how companies, communities, and allies can support and create opportunities instead of just watching. You’ll leave with concrete ideas on how to: attract more women into tech support and grow visible role models take your own first step – or help someone else take theirs.

Sandra Kiel

I’m Sandra Kiel – gamer, Playpreneur and founder of Event Punks. I help organisations turn dry, complex topics into playful experiences: from gamified Power Apps and Copilot adoption journeys to learning quests in Microsoft 365 and Gaming Platforms like Minecraft. My heart lives where people, play and technology meet. I work with game design principles, storytelling and UX to make change, learning and new tools feel less scary and more human. As an introvert, a mum and a non-native English speaker, I don’t fit the classic “loud tech speaker” stereotype – and I’m totally fine with that. On stage, I share real-world projects, honest lessons and practical patterns teams can reuse the next day. My talks are for people who want less buzzword bingo and more concrete ideas on how to bring play, curiosity and adoption into their everyday work.
