Vertonet Inspiration Day

5. maí 2026
Vertonet Inspiration Day is our biggest annual event—bringing together voices from the tech industry in a space built on inclusion, equality, and community. It’s a day to connect, get inspired, and imagine what’s next for tech in Iceland.
We are coming together at Vertonet Hvatningardagur 2026 to talk about what it means to navigate the evolving world of technology with courage and clarity. How do we carve our own paths while lifting others along the way? And what does thriving in tech truly look like today?
Be inspired by professionals who have faced barriers, embraced change, and led with vision- redefining what leadership in tech can be.
Join us for a day of stories, strategy, and solidarity as we build confidence, community, and the future of IT in Iceland, together.
Vertonet welcomes all women and non-binaries in tech. Men are warmly welcomed too—we value and encourage their presence as allies.
