Breaking Barriers and Building Bridges for Women in SAP in Ireland

Following the Great Success of Our London Event

We are proud to announce that we are bringing the WiSAP event to Ireland for the very first time! Join us in Dublin as we continue our mission to empower women in the SAP community across the UK & Ireland.

We're delighted to partner with KPMG, who will be hosting this special event, providing the perfect setting for meaningful conversations and connections in the heart of Dublin.

Our Core Theme Continues: The Broken Rung for Women in Leadership

Building on our London success, we'll continue to tackle the critical question that resonates across borders:

"What's really standing in the way of women climbing the tech leadership ladder?"

Through thought-provoking keynotes and dynamic panel discussions, we'll explore systemic barriers and discover what both organisations and individuals can do to create lasting, meaningful change - with a special focus on the Irish tech landscape.

What to Expect in Dublin

🎯 Keynote Insights
Inspirational speakers from Ireland's leading SAP organisations share their journeys, challenges, and successes in breaking through barriers.

Open to All UKISUG Members
