Breaking Barriers: How Tech Leaders Create Change Together
About UNBOUND
Unbound mission statement
UNBOUND exists to unleash the full potential of women in technology by breaking down barriers, building up careers, and bringing together an industry committed to meaningful change.
Our three aims:
Transform Industry Standards: Create a technology sector where 50% of leadership positions are held by women by 2030, establishing new benchmarks for gender equity across the industry through measurable action and collaborative partnerships.
Build Pathways, Not Barriers: Remove systemic obstacles that prevent women from entering, advancing, and thriving in technology careers by providing practical support, mentorship, and advocacy that creates lasting change.
Champion Collective Impact: Unite businesses, leaders, and talent across the tech ecosystem to drive meaningful progress on gender diversity, proving that sustainable change happens when we work together rather than in isolation.
Launch event
This launch event marks the beginning of La Fosse's reimagined Women in Tech initiative under the new UNBOUND banner. Unlike traditional women in tech events that can become echo chambers, UNBOUND brings together both male and female voices for honest, actionable conversations about creating real change.

What to expect
This is not about performative allyship or box-ticking. The event will feature lively, open panel discussions that dig into real stories, real challenges, and real solutions. From cultural shifts to inclusive hiring practices, we'll explore how everyone has a role to play in driving progress.
Special launch feature: The Women at Work Blueprint
We'll unveil our brand-new report based on conversations with over 1,700 women – the first in a series of white papers designed to help businesses take practical steps toward better gender equity. This isn't corporate content; it's what women are really thinking and wanting, plus a warning of what we'll face as an industry if we don't start listening.
Attendees will receive exclusive early access to the report.
Looking ahead
This launch event kicks off a bi-monthly series focused on real, actionable conversations around diversity in tech, bringing together key industry voices to share experiences, insights, and ideas for progress.
This is not just another panel event. It's the start of something bigger.
