Pittsburgh WITCON 2026: Ten Years of Unifying Tech

For ten years, getWITit has been bringing people together to build more inclusive, sustainable tech communities. In 2026, WITCON returns to Pittsburgh to celebrate a decade of impact and to focus on what comes next.

WITCON is a one-day conference designed for women, nonbinary people in tech, and allies in tech who want to build stronger, more equitable teams and organizations. Expect real conversations, practical insights, and space to connect with people who care about both technology and the humans behind it.

WITCON is intentionally designed to be approachable, relevant, and useful — whether you’re early in your career or leading teams.

You can expect:

• Thoughtful talks and panels led by experienced tech professionals

• Practical sessions you can apply immediately in your work

• Opportunities to connect with peers across roles, industries, and experience levels

• A welcoming environment where you don’t have to “perform” to belong

This is not a hype conference. It’s about learning from each other, strengthening your skills and perspective, and growing relationships that support you over time.

WITCON is for:

• Women and nonbinary people working in technology or tech-adjacent roles

• Tech professionals exploring leadership, growth, or career transitions

• Students and early-career professionals building their path in tech

• Allies committed to building more inclusive tech spaces

If you care about the future of tech — and the people shaping it — you’ll feel at home here.

Our speaker lineup will feature:

• Local and national tech leaders

• Practitioners with real-world experience

• Voices representing a range of roles, backgrounds, and perspectives
