Breaking barriers and building bridges at your next Women in SAP Event in London!
We’re thrilled to announce that our Women in SAP day - our flagship annual event - is officially set for 16 July 2025, at the stunning Westminster Hotel, London. Mark your calendars, because this year’s gathering is set to be bigger, bolder and more impactful than ever.
 
We're busy creating an agenda and lining up a thought-provoking mix of sessions and interactive discussions, with some of the most inspirational women in the SAP community.
 
At the heart of the day will be our keynote theme: “The Broken Rung for Women in Leadership”. Together, we'll unpack the critical question: What’s really standing in the way of women climbing the tech leadership ladder? Through keynote insights and a dynamic panel discussion, we’ll explore the systemic barriers and what both organisations and individuals can do to create lasting, meaningful change.
 
We’ll also address issues of representation and how we can support each other to increase the visibility and impact of women in our community. From having your voice heard in daily work situations, to sharing your expertise at events like Connect, to making sure women have a seat at the table where decisions are made - your experiences matter and we're keen to help highlight them.
