“We are incredibly proud of the impact GirlCode has made over the past ten years,” said Zandile Mkwanazi, CEO of GirlCode. “This summit is a chance to celebrate the incredible women we’ve worked with, gain valuable industry insights, and build a network that can continue to empower women in tech and beyond.”

GirlCode is thrilled to partner with Vuma, a leading fibre network operator, to offer 10 tickets to aspiring women in tech. Vuma is committed to empowering individuals and businesses through technology, and this partnership aligns perfectly with GirlCode’s mission.

“We’re delighted to be a part of the GirlCode Summit and one of its proud sponsors. Their 10-year milestone is proof of the amazing work they do to empower young women and girls in South Africa,” said Taylor Kwong, Head of Marketing at Vuma.

“In a country where women are often underrepresented in the tech sector, GirlCode’s initiatives make a real difference, providing necessary tools that unlock so much undiscovered potential. We can’t wait to see what the next 10 years brings for them.”

The summit is designed specifically for corporate girlies in tech to come together, connect, and learn from industry experts. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge, network with like-minded individuals, and be inspired to reach new heights in their careers.
