Anyone in an underrepresented or marginalised group in tech can be eligible for our scholarship. Including (but not limited to): women, people of colour, LGBTQIA+ people, people with disabilities, people over the age of 50, as well as people facing economic or social hardship.

To help people within these groups attend and participate in WDC we are asking those who are able to, to donate £15 (or more) to help fund tickets for those who apply.

Apply

To apply for one of our scholarship tickets please email Luke and Alex with answers to these questions and to explain your story so far and what it would mean to attend WDC.

• Who you are and what do you do?
• Why you’d like to attend WDC and what you’re looking forward to learning and gaining from the event?
• Why you’re applying for one of these tickets?

Please keep in mind you’ll need to be able to attend the entire conference event. We will keep all of this information confidential and will not publicly announce any attendees who have qualified for these tickets. What you say is totally up to you!

Applications must be received by September 1st for the event.

Help

If none of the above applies to you, you can still help. By either spreading the word via social media, email, carrier pigeon, etc., or by donating to the fund when buying your tickets for WDC2026.

This wouldn’t be possible without the contributions you and our sponsors make.
