A space to connect, be seen, and lead
At CTO Craft, we’re building a community for every tech leader and we know that means actively creating space for women in senior technology roles. Whether you’re a seasoned CTO, an engineering leader on the rise, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here.
Women are underrepresented in tech leadership, but they’re not alone. CTO Craft Con: Berlin is designed to bring women in tech together, amplify their voices, and provide meaningful ways to connect.
Women in Tech Breakfast
8:00am | 22nd September
Start your day at CTO Craft Con: Berlin with a relaxed breakfast for women and non-binary people in tech leadership. No slides, no agenda — just real conversation with brilliant people who get it.
Whether you’re new to the community or already part of CTO Craft, this is a warm, welcoming space to connect and share experiences.
The session will be hosted by Natalie McCormack — seasoned facilitator, community builder, and passionate advocate for women in tech.
“Community isn’t built by accident. It’s built with curiosity, courage, and a little bit of fun. I design safe spaces where women in tech can connect, be real, and grow — one conversation at a time.”
— Natalie McCormack
This breakfast is one of those spaces. It’s open to anyone with a ticket for the conference. Click here to save your seat.

Need a Hand with the Cost?
We want to make CTO Craft Con as accessible as possible. That’s why we offer a limited number of scholarship tickets to support women and other underrepresented leaders who might otherwise miss out.
If cost is a barrier, we’d love to hear from you — no need for lengthy applications or awkward forms.
Beyond the Conference
The support doesn’t end when the event does. CTO Craft is an ongoing community of over 7,000 tech leaders — and we’ve carved out space specifically for women to connect year-round.
Private Slack Channel for Women CTOs
CTO Craft is home to a thriving Slack community of over 7,000 tech leaders from around the world — from Heads of Engineering to CTOs at scaling startups and enterprise teams.
Within that space, we’ve created a dedicated #women-ctos channel — a private, supportive space exclusively for women in senior tech roles.
Whether you’re looking for input on career progression, want to share a win, or just need to sense-check something in a trusted space — you’re in good company.
Monthly Virtual Meetups
Our monthly Women in Tech meetups are a relaxed, low-pressure way to stay connected with other women in leadership — no slides, no sales pitches, just honest conversation.
Sometimes we invite a guest speaker from the community to spark a conversation. Sometimes we just swap stories and have a laugh.
If you’re looking for an ongoing network of women who get what it’s like to lead in tech, these meetups are a brilliant place to start.
Why Representation Matters
We’re proud to have Emma Hopkins Spark — CTO, board member at CTO Craft, and long-time advocate for women in technology — as part of our leadership team.
In this short video, Emma shares why creating spaces for women in tech leadership is more than just a nice-to-have — and what real support looks like in practice.
