Stockholm, 24 October 2023 – Zimpler, a fintech company providing seamless and secure account-to-account payment solutions, is proud to be co-host of the inaugural Women in Tech Regatta in Stockholm, to take place at Zimpler and Spotify HQs on 25-27 October 2023. The Women in Tech Regatta works to drive positive change, innovation, and workplace diversity in the tech industry.
The Women in Tech Regatta – despite the name a conference and not a boat race – aims to give attendees access to mentors, peers, resources, and the power of community. It is designed to educate, motivate, and stimulate career growth opportunities in the tech business.
The conference offers compelling panels with a diverse group of people, networking opportunities with people in tech who are making a difference in the industry, and breakout time during each session to connect, build relationships and share experiences and ideas to help one another move forward.
“The success of Swedish startups such as Spotify and Zimpler has turned Stockholm into a world-renowned tech hub. Stockholm has bred more tech unicorns per capita than any other region in the world except for Silicon Valley. It’s natural for WiT Regatta to come to Stockholm,” says Melody Biringer, connection engineer and WiT Regatta creator.
The sessions include:
- Relationships Are The True Currency: Rediscover Your Connection Muscle
- Can I Give You Some Feedback?
- Diversity by Design and Raising Up Underrepresented Voices in Tech
- Courageous Leaders Needed: Standing Up For Yourself, Your Team, Your Company, and Your Community
- Myth-Busting Tech Trends
- LinkedIn Glowup: Navigate a Profile Makeover to Harness Professional Advancement
- Navigating Uncertainty and Burnout

“Zimpler is proud to host the inaugural Stockholm Women in Tech Regatta together with Spotify. Zimpler wants to be a positive force in the spheres where we are a stakeholder, such as the payments industry, the labor market, and the Stockholm tech hub. We are an extensively diversified and globalized team, but we can always improve even further and the conference will help us learn a lot.

About the Regatta:
Founded in 2013 in Seattle, Women in Technology (WiT) was a not-for-profit organization which supported women through education and networking opportunities at quarterly events. WiT also endeavored to raise funds and visibility for mission-aligned nonprofit partners.
Melody Biringer, an original board member of WiT, created and produced the WiT Regatta through her firm The Crave Company. The inaugural Seattle Women in Tech Regatta was on Tuesday, May 2nd 2017, with over 700 attendees.
