MK Girl Talks Tech
Part of Milton Keynes Tech Week

Date: 25th September
Time: 6pm - 8.30pm
Location: X and Why, Milton Keynes
Tickets: £10 / £8 for Friends with ‘MKFRIEND’

Join MK Girl for an inspiring evening exploring how technology can become more accessible, inclusive, and diverse. Narratives are shaping the future of tech, but how can we make sure marginalised voices are heard in that journey?

We’ll be joined by experts and trailblazers from across work, finance, and innovation to uncover how the evolution of tech can open doors for everyone.

Interactive Workshop: Same World, Different Perspectives

Led by Mo Kanjilal and Kaia Bevan-Allen from Edge Of Difference, this interactive session invites you to explore the unique experiences, beliefs, and stories that shape how we see the world. Through reflection and practical tools, you’ll learn how to start conversations with more confidence, both at work and beyond.

Panel Discussion: Shaping an Inclusive Tech Future

• Tazmin Suleman – Career Coach, Trainer and Podcaster

• Stella Harris – Senior Operations Manager, Santander UK

• Samantha Hope – Head of Emerging Talent, Shoosmiths

• Pippa Moyle – Founder of the City Girl Network

You’ll leave the evening with…

• Fresh perspectives on how tech can truly include everyone

• Practical tools to navigate diverse conversations

This event is perfect for anyone working in (or curious about) tech, diversity and inclusion, or simply looking to better understand how we can create a future that represents us all.
