[![Are you a woman in tech? If so, you might be interested in joining these communities for women in tech so you can meet other women!](https://i2.wp.com/girlknowstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/woman-in-tech-your-voice-matters.png?resize=476%2C714&ssl=1)](https://i2.wp.com/girlknowstech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/woman-in-tech-your-voice-matters.png?ssl=1)

I have a [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/WomenInTechCommunity/) for women in technology. I ask 3 questions to women who want to join the group. One of them is: “Why do you want to join the group? “. All the answers I receive say that it is to meet other women in technology, to exchange tips, etc! 

Since not everyone is on Facebook or enjoys the platform, I had the idea to write this article to share all the platforms for women in technology that I know. My goal is to regroup all women in tech communities that you can join and where you can go to exchange with others!

### Slack

- [Women in Tech](http://witchat.github.io/)

I have been in this Slack for a very long time. The topics discussed are very diverse, but I believe that most members (all who identify as women) are concentrated in the United States. It’s the most active slack this on this list.

- [Women Techmakers](https://www.womentechmakers.com/membership)

Women Techmakers is a Google program that aims to give visibility, communities and resources to women in technology. It’s not been long since I was on this Slack, but it’s friendly for the experience I had. Women Techmakers offers 3 different Slack teams: early career, mid-level career, or established career. The goal of these three slacks is to help women’s careers by providing access to resources and events.

- [Women In Tech Montreal](https://witmgroup-slack.herokuapp.com/)

This group is for all those who live, work or are connected to Montreal in any way. We speak in English and in French in this Slack!

### Instagram

- Use women empowerment hashtags

I wrote a complete [blog post](https://girlknowstech.com/instagram-hashtags-women-tech/) listing all the women related hashtags I could find, so you can easily connect and find other women in tech accounts!

 

### Twitter

**Accounts to follow **

- Twitter lists of women in tech accounts
  - [Women around the world ](https://twitter.com/ladyleet/lists/fempire/members)

**Hashtags to use**

- [List of hashtags to use](https://girlknowstech.com/instagram-hashtags-women-tech/)

**Twitter Chats **

Twitter chats are discussions that can be said to be “directed” to a particular topic, and where everyone can answer a question and give their opinion. This allows you to meet other people and network a lot on Twitter!

### Snapchat

- [Women in Tech](http://www.womenintechsnap.com/) : Almost every day, a woman takes over the Snapchat account for a day and shares video clips of her day. Sometimes it’s a woman who runs a business. Most often, she introduces her work colleagues and shows us what a typical day looks like for her. Other times, it is about women who go to conferences and make us attend with them!

### Reddit

- [/r/LadyDevs](https://www.reddit.com/r/ladydevs/) : full of news around women in tech

[Meetup.com](http://meetup.com) is a website that allows organizers to create recurring events around a topic. Thus, all people interested in this subject can meet to network.

I can not list all the meetups, but I suggest you go to meetup.com and search using keywords like “women + code”, “women in tech”, etc. You will surely find a group that is near you!
