What Will It Take to Close the Gender Gap in Tech?

Tuesday 20 October 2026 – 3.00pm to 4.00pm BST

Technology shapes everything we do, yet women remain significantly underrepresented across the UK’s technology workforce. Join us for a special Spotlight webinar exploring how government is supporting women across digital, data and technology through the new Women in Tech strand of Get Tech Certified.

We’ll hear from contributors to the Lovelace Report, including those helping to shape the conversation on women in technology across government and the public sector.

Together, we’ll take an honest look at where we are today, the barriers that remain, and what needs to happen next to build a stronger, more inclusive technology profession. You’ll also discover the learning and certification opportunities available through Get Tech Certified and how you can get involved. We hope to see you there.

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.

Cyber Security – Defending Government in the Age of AI

Tuesday 27 October 2026 – 3.00pm to 4.00pm BST

AI is already helping government strengthen its cyber defences, but what does that look like in practice?

Join us to hear how the Government Cyber Coordination Centre, working with the National Cyber Security Centre and AI Security Institute, used frontier AI models to identify hundreds of previously unknown security vulnerabilities in government systems before they could be exploited.

Discover what was learned, how AI and human expertise worked together to improve vulnerability discovery at scale, and what this could mean for the future of cyber resilience across government.

There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
