After welcoming over 500+ tech professionals in 2024, the Unicorns in Tech Summit returns on October 11th for a new edition, celebrating tech, diversity and being LGBTIQ+ in the workplace.
For the fifth consecutive year, folks will find a unique space where leading companies and top queer talent connect, collaborate and shape the future of technology together.
This year’s summit will once again take place at SchwuZ, Berlin’s largest queer club and a cornerstone of the city’s LGBTIQ+ activism and life. You can find all the information you need about how to get there here.
Absolutely! Straight people, allies, and friends of the community are also very welcome. In addition to queer topics, you will find inspiration and tips for your career. By participating, you are also supporting the LGBTIQ+ community.
Queer-friendly means that a space, event, or company is respectful and supportive of people from the LGBTIQ+ community. It’s about visibility, acceptance, and actively promoting a diverse and inclusive environment.
Only take photos on site if everyone in the picture agrees.
It’s best to bring your application documents with you: resume, application portfolio, cover letter, or application flyer. You can also bring your LinkedIn profile or other similar professional social media accounts.
Have a look at our exhibitors and consider which ones are relevant to you. Visit your favorites directly on site, or join our Talent Pool for a chance to have a one-on-one conversation with the exhibitors. Think about questions or topics you would like to discuss and write them down. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about diversity.
Most program items such as workshops and networking sessions operate on a first come, first served basis. You can register directly on site. Just come by, but don’t be late!
The UITS Talent Pool is your shortcut to the next step in your career, without having to send out hundreds of applications. Answer 10 questions about your job preferences in just a few minutes, link your resume, and get discovered by exciting employers. They may contact you by email to invite you to an interview—on site, via video call, or directly at the company.

The best places to look are:
In the Community Area, you will meet associations and initiatives that support LGBTIQ+. Instead of job postings, the focus here is on exchange, empowerment, and community engagement. Come by, network, and find out how you can get involved!
Yes, If you observe or experience an inappropriate situation and would like support in dealing with it, please contact the Awareness Team on site.
We have a zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination of any kind. Visitors to UITS should feel comfortable, regardless of age, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and worldview, sexual orientation, and social background. Read more about our Code of Conduct on our website.
The all-gender toilets are toilet facilities for everyone, regardless of sex and gender! The all-gender toilets have both seated and standing toilets. The binary division of toilet facilities puts pressure on people to conform to one of these designations. In order to avoid and permanently overcome this type of coercion and discrimination, the principle of all-gender toilets is intended to create a space in which there is no division into gender identities and roles.
There is a toilet for people with disabilities. The toilet can be opened with a Euro key. Otherwise, a key will be provided by the staff.
Yes, there is a cloakroom. Use of the cloakroom is free of charge.
Small and medium sized bags are allowed, but large or bulky items are not. Essentially bags that are designed to fit everyday essentials plus a bit more. Think of the space for an A4 notebook, tablet, or a light jacket. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring your own drinks and food – exceptions only apply with a medical certificate or for feeding babies. You will be able to buy snacks and drinks directly on site. Glass bottles, cans, weapons, pyrotechnics, and dangerous items are generally prohibited.
Business attire? Not with us! Our motto is: Come as you are. We want you to feel comfortable and be yourself, because that’s the only way you can come across as authentic.
Unfortunately, cuddly pets and other non-human beings will need to stay home. Assistance dogs are exempt from this rule.
