🎟️ Entry

You have the same entrance as the other attendees, but go to the front of the queue and tell the volunteers that you are a speaker, and they will let you through, then you will get your speaker badge.
As your entry QR code has been scanned you will get a text message prompting you to activate your Mingla* account = pair your badge with your phone. Now you’re ready to connect and network.
Our volunteers have yellow t-shirts, do reach out to them for any help.

✨ Agenda – main stage

The agenda is live on the website

Below you will see the more detailed agenda.
Note: The number of minutes for your speeches are a hard stop so please respect them!

At the rehearsal on 22nd, you will be given time you need to be on the side of the stage to get mic’ed up – it is 20 minutes before you go on stage.

We have wonderful stage managers who will coordinate all of this and ensure you are where you need to be, but make sure you are in the speakers’ green room before your talk, so that they can find you.

#WITswe2025 – Final Agenda

✨ Interview stage

What is the interview stage?
When the on-site audience has a break to visit partners in the booths, the live broadcast continues in a fireside chat format with experts in various fields. Physically, the interview stage is going to use the same stage space as the main stage. All our talks on the main stage and interview stage are recorded, and uploaded to ourYouTube channel and our WIT Play of which you will have access to. If people who are present in Stockholm want to sit and listen to the talks on the interview stage, they are welcome to – the audio will be lowered so people can move forward and sit at the front to listen.

💄 Make up

We have 2 make-up artists (they are experienced with different skin tones)
We have attached the makeup schedule below. It is tight, with a lot of things to juggle with both stages and speakers. Please respect the timings.
It will be a touch-up, not a full face, so do your own light makeup to start. You will do your own hair, and we will have some hairspray and mirrors in the green room.
FYI, we recommend some makeup, a little touch-up, for everyone going up on the main stages, so you don’t look washed out on the bright stage lights. We absolutely don’t expect you to have strong makeup if you don’t want to, only as much as you are comfortable with.

🥙 Food and drink

You are welcome to go in and out of the green room all day, there will be refreshments, cue cards, make up, and time to chat with the other speakers – this will also be (wo)manned all day if you wanted to leave your bags there rather than in the cloakroom.
There will be food and beverages for you in the speakers green room during the day.
We will have a speaker’s dinner after the event at 20:00 at Waterfront hotel (same as the conference.) – you need to have RSVPed to elin.eriksson@womenintech.se if you want to join the dinner.
If have come with plus ones, they will not be able to join the speaker’s dinner unfortunately as we have limited space, but they can join us in the bar afterwards 🍷

📲 Mingla – networking gamified

During the event, we’re trying something new as we will use the networking service Mingla. Some of you are actually featured in the networking game challenge as key points, so don’t be surprised if attendees approach you to connect and earn points! (which they do by asking to scan the QR code on your badge). It’s a fun way to encourage networking and engagement throughout the day, and it might be the ice-breaker for people to dare to approach you.

📸 Photos and videos

Media presence:

Please be aware that members of the press/media will be attending the event. They may approach you for interviews. Participation is entirely voluntary, and there is no obligation to engage.

Linda will coordinate if the press/media asks to connect with a specific speaker.

Behind-The-Leader-series
Elisa Sanvito, an editorial branding photographer, will be capturing authentic behind-the-scenes moments throughout the event. Her series will focus on candid moments—before you step on stage, in conversation with peers, and, of course, during your presentation. These images will be shared with you post-event for your personal use. This service is offered free of charge, and we are grateful to Elisa for providing it.

🏨 Accommodation

For the keynote speakers that do not live in Stockholm, welcome to Sweden! 🥳
We have booked Radisson Waterfront hotel for you – this is the same as where we will have the event. If you want any Stockholm tips then we are happy to give you some!

If you want to bring a plus one to the hotel, then there is an additional cost of 555 SEK extra per night which will be paid directly to the hotel. You need to let us know beforehand if you are planning on bringing someone.
