Real Talk: Growth & Careers

Real Talk: Growth & Careers

Hinke Malda

Liz Zwerver

— from Philips

Join an honest and interactive dialogue about the moments that shape careers in tech, from barriers and bias to growth, confidence, and unexpected opportunities. Through shared experiences and candid reflection, participants will explore what it takes to become impossible to ignore and how we can create more space for others to thrive.

Conference room: Planck, first floor

Unblocking FemTech: Why women’s health innovation stalls and what 1% better looks like

Unblocking FemTech: Why women’s health innovation stalls and what 1% better looks like

Beata Wandachowicz-Krason

— from Organon

This workshop is not a lecture, but an interactive conversation about the systemic barriers holding back women’s health innovation. Drawing on original applied research, Beata explores topics such as venture capital bias, regulatory bottlenecks, and the cultural normalization of women’s pain. The session starts with “FemTech Bingo,” an engaging activity designed to spark honest dialogue and reflection. Participants from all backgrounds are invited to discover how they can contribute to advancing women’s health innovation from their own position.

Conference room: Curie, first floor

Is it burnout or menopause?

Is it burnout or menopause?

Blaire Bergman

Carin Pieper

Nancy Vos – van Oerle

— from ASML

Many women between the ages of 35 and 60 experience symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and low stress tolerance. These symptoms are often associated with burnout, while they may actually be linked to hormonal transitions during menopause. This session explores the overlap between burnout and menopause symptoms, how misinterpretation impacts women in the workplace, and what organizations can do to improve awareness, support, and conversations around this topic.

Conference room: Bohr, first floor

The importance of male allyship: a practical toolkit

The importance of male allyship: a practical toolkit

Yolanda van Dinther

— from VoyaTech

Joseph Zekry

— from HorizonTech

This workshop focuses on the role of male allyship in improving inclusion and advancing women’s health and equality. The speakers will discuss how unconscious bias contributes to inequalities and how allyship can help drive meaningful change. Participants will be introduced to a practical toolkit designed to increase awareness and encourage new behaviours for both men and women.

John Bell

— from HighTechXL

This workshop explores how increased awareness, innovation, and investment in women’s health can positively impact wellbeing, relationships, and productivity for everyone.

Conference room: Zernike, ground floor

Beyond one-size-fits-all: female-centric healthcare technology design

Beyond one-size-fits-all: female-centric healthcare technology design

Carmen van Vilsteren

— from Imagion Consultancy

John Bell

— from HighTechXL

This session focuses on female-centric healthcare technology design and the importance of representation in healthcare data and product development. Using medical wearables and personalized monitoring technologies as examples, the workshop explores how women’s physiological diversity and underrepresentation in datasets influence healthcare innovation and outcomes.

From data to decisions: why health insights don't change behavior (and what does)

From data to decisions: why health insights don't change behavior (and what does)

Udette Kirsch

— from Smart Photonics

We know sleep matters. We track our steps, monitor stress levels, and measure health data — yet many people still struggle to translate insights into sustainable daily habits. This workshop explores the science behind the intention–action gap and explains why information alone rarely changes behaviour.

Drawing on behavioural economics, nudge theory, and choice architecture, participants will discover practical frameworks for understanding behavioural barriers and designing more effective interventions.
