About

The Women in Technology Forum & Awards 2026, hosted by TahawulTech.com and organised by CPI Media Group, is a premier platform dedicated to celebrating and advancing women in the technology sector.

Aligned with the International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026 campaign theme, Give to GAIN, the event champions a powerful mindset of generosity, collaboration, and shared progress. Give to GAIN underscores a simple but transformative truth: when individuals, organisations, and communities invest in women-through opportunity, knowledge, resources, visibility, and support-everyone benefits. Giving is not a loss; it is intentional multiplication.

At a time when progress toward gender parity remains slow-projected to take several generations at the current pace-the focus must shift toward collective contribution. Creating meaningful change requires sustained commitment to mentorship, education, advocacy, and inclusive leadership that enables women in technology to thrive.

This dynamic forum will bring together industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and change-makers for insightful discussions, knowledge-sharing, and strategic collaboration. Through thought-provoking panels, keynote sessions, and interactive workshops, the event will explore practical ways organisations can give back to the ecosystem and, in doing so, gain innovation, resilience, and long-term growth.

The Women in Technology Awards will honour outstanding women professionals whose contributions to the digital economy, innovation, and leadership exemplify the impact of opportunity and support. These accolades celebrate excellence, resilience, and the power of women shaping the future of technology.

For aspiring women professionals, the forum offers a valuable platform to learn from industry pioneers, expand networks, connect with mentors, and gain insights into leadership, career progression, and emerging trends. It is a space to learn, grow, and take confident steps toward a successful digital future.

Join us on March 1, 2026, in Dubai, as we come together to Give to GAIN-building a future where women in technology are empowered to lead, innovate, and succeed.

When women thrive, we all rise.
Be part of the movement. Be part of the change.
