👩💻 About Us:
At the crossroads of two traditionally male-dominated spaces—technology and public affairs—the Women in Tech Policy Network (WiTP) amplifies the voices of expert women shaping the future of tech policy in the UK.
Founded in 2024 by Casey Calista and Dr. Hannah Shimko, WiTP began as an informal networking club and has rapidly grown into a vibrant community of over 500 UK-based women—fostering connection, collaboration, and leadership in the sector.
✨ Whether you're exploring your next step or just starting out, come along and get inspired.
