FAQ

Why should I join?

It is a great opportunity for you as developer to learn about current developments in software engineering and to network.

Why only female speakers?

Undoubtedly there is a gender disparity in tech which we want to address with our cause. We started W&&C with teaching women-only classes and pivoted now to a conference with female-only speakers. With Women And Code we want to offer an open, inclusive, and non-threatening environment for women to learn and network.

How do you define ‘women’?

The term ‘woman*’ includes people of all colors, body types, and ages, including but not limited to cis fem, inter, non-binary, and trans. Our events explicitly include all FLINTA* / people of marginalised genders and is a safe space for LGBTIQ+ – see Code Of Conduct!
Our conference is suitable for attendees from the age of 18 years on.

 

The event is full, where is the waiting list?

If the event is fully booked and you missed your spot, please join our meetup-group and we will inform you when a spot opens up.
You can try catching a seat by checking on meetup.com again on the DAY of the event because some people may cancel.

I can’t come, do I get a refund?

To reserve your seat you need to pay a reservation fee. You’ll get the money back through Meetup.com if you cancel 14 days in advance (Go to meetup.com – right top user icon – settings – payments made – refund). After that there is no refund possible. Thanks for your understanding! ♥
We kindly ask you to cancel your seat if you cannot come since many really want to come to our events and we have limited seats. Thank you!

You can also check the refund policy of meetup.com

I don’t have Paypal! Do you offer other payment methods?

Unfortunately meetup.com only supports Paypal as payment provider. If you want to register we suggest you ask a friend to ‘borrow’ their account. Thank you for your understanding! ♥

Where is the receipt?

The ticket is the receipt (like a cinema ticket). Go to meetup.com – right top user icon – settings – payments made – print.

Note: There is no ATU on the receipt because we don’t change MWSt! As non-profit NGO we are “USt-befreit”, see about.

Do you offer childcare?

Please contact us prior to the event so we can arrange childcare for you!

I don’t like pizza / I eat vegan

In case you don’t like pizza 🍕 or have a special diet such as vegan, gluten-free, low carb, slow carb, paleo, fruitarian, low sodium, etc etc …
you’re welcome to bring some food pot-luck style to our events!

I’d like to post a job offer, where is your Job Board?

At the moment we don’t have a job platform – we recommend our hand-picked Junior Developers to a curated list of companies. So if you’d like to present your company to our group we’d like to invite you to support or sponsor one of our events!
