Women in tech events this spring: your IWD 2026 guide for Sweden and the Nordics
International Women's Day is on March 8 - and across Sweden and the Nordics, the tech community is showing up in a big way. From hands-on AI workshops on the day itself to major conferences running through April, 2026 has something for everyone who wants to connect, build, and grow.
Here's your guide to the must-attend women in tech events this spring - all discoverable on crewcial.
Build something on International Women's Day
This year, IWD isn't just about shedding a light on the question - it's about creating. Across the Nordics, a wave of hackathons on Lovable, Claude, and other vibecoding platforms are giving women the tools to turn ideas into real products using AI, no coding experience required.
If you've ever wanted to try building an app but didn't know where to start, this is the entry point - and IWD is the perfect moment to take it.
