Women in Tech Cluj
Learn. Share. Support. Empower. Create awareness
Mission & History
LEARN. SHARE. SUPPORT. EMPOWER.
Women in Tech Cluj has started in April 2018 after lots of months tinkering on how cool it would be to have recurrent meetups where women take the spotlight. The tipping point was a dinner with several tech enthusiasts gathered around (and thanks to) Sarah Drasner, an award-winning speaker with a stellar technical career. It was then when our founders, Oana, Mela and Gina understood the need and interest for such a community.
Our mission is to share, support and grow together. We want to make the work of technical women visible and support them to stand up and have a voice. To do so we meet at least once a month and experiment with formats and topics, both technical and non-technical ones.
We stay true to our values and remain neutral to company publicity or recruitment attempts, as we believe creating a safe space is essential to building a healthy community. We will nevertheless hold meetups in companies' offices and coworking spaces to be connected to the local business environment.
Despite the (apparently) exclusive name, we are welcoming men and women alike, to be part of Women in Tech Cluj. We have made a choice over and over again regarding the name as we believe that in today's world, women are wearing different hats and sometimes lack the confidence to promote their results, go for that promotion, apply for that job. Please join us to make this happen!

OUR NEXT MEETUP
The Human Advantage: Leading with Trust in the Age of AI
Information is a few clicks away, and AI assistants are part of almost everyone's daily toolbox. When speed and efficiency become the baseline, the real question changes: where does the difference come from?💡
🙌 Join us for a panel with three leaders who guide teams through this change every day. We'll talk about what stays distinctly human: creativity, adaptability, collaboration, critical thinking and curiosity, and about what it takes to lead with trust when everything moves this fast.
Meet our speakers:
-
Madalina Hurducas - Head of People Office @Accesa
-
Adina Balea - Director, Control & Communication and Country Manager @Opoura
-
Ruxandra Banici - Head of Technology Office @Zenitech
⚖️ We'll look at both sides of the story. What will the leaders and organizations of the future look like? How do we keep people engaged and excited, and what should each of us focus on to stay relevant? Expect honest stories and real examples.
Date: October 20th, 2026
Location: Accesa Office, Str. Constanta 12, Cluj-Napoca
