Testimonials

  • "We have worked with Girls Talk since 2020 sponsoring the Black Girls Tech Summit and have been able to recruit new hires. We’re proud to partner with the Hill app and Girls Talk to further our D&I efforts"

  • "Such an amazing experience being the headline sponsor of the 2021 Black Girls Tech Summit. The overall event exceeded my expectations. I personally got so much from attending the summit, it was inspiring, refreshing and gave such a realisation of how important it is to have women in technology to revolutionise the future. The overall planning of the event was great, the team at Girls Talk were responsive, organised and took the burden off me to help ensure all of our speakers’ collateral was prepared and ready for go-live."

  • "Meta has sponsored The Black Girls Tech Summit for three years and it’s been great to see the event grow and gain momentum. The team are so passionate about what they do and never fail to put together an engaging agenda with a truly diverse mix of talented speakers from across the Tech industry; attracting audiences from around the world to come together to learn, share and build meaningful connections"

Why do we need a summit for Black women in tech & finance?

There is a lack of representation of Black women in tech and finance

  • Black women represent only 0.7% of all jobs in UK Tech & 3% in the U.S

  • Black women represent only 0.5% of dealmakers in Finance

  • 20,000 Black women are missing from the technology workforce in the UK

  • Black women make up only 4% of C-Suite positions in finance

  • This lack of diversity is costing businesses to lose out on $1.05 trillion
