CreateHER Fest: Our 2025 Who, What, Where & When, because you were our “Why”!

CreateHER Fest was built on a simple commitment: to democratize access, build community, and position real leadership pathways for women building in emerging tech.

Not just moments and events.
But a global ecosystem where learning leads to building, building leads to leadership, because opportunity isn’t luck; it’s intentionally created.

This image captures a few of our highlights from 2025, but more importantly, it reflects consistency in honoring that commitment. From amplifying 50+ tech women leaders & educators through our workshops and programing — engaging 1,000+ women globally in hands-on technical skill-building — to expanding access through global partnerships and advancing initiatives like our .HER top-level domain, every step centered authentic connection, visibility, ownership, and momentum for women in emerging tech.

Whether London, Toronto, & Cannes or Las Vegas, Cincinnati, Miami, and beyond, CreateHER Fest showed up wherever opportunity could be opened. We deepened technical rigor and cybersecurity fluency through programs like our International Women’s Day Hackathon and CybHER Challenge, and brought the journey full circle by elevating one of our own CreateHERs — a first-time builder turned hackathon winner — to share her story on a major stage. All of this stands as proof of what’s possible when community, consistency, and intentionality align.

This year closes recognizing our co-founders among the Most Inspirational Women of Web3 & AI, but our commitment to you remains our driving force.

We couldn’t do any of this alone.

This year’s outcomes are the result of:

• Our community leaders commitment to supporting this mission & each other

• Our leaders showing up to teach, mentor, and reciprocate their value

• Our partners and sponsors choosing remain invested in innovation, sustainability, and equity

• And women across the globe aligning in curiosity, passion, or purpose, committing to the work, and building with us!

Thank you to CreateHERs and allies who contributed your valuable time, trust, talent, and belief along the way. Thank you for every way you amplified and supported our success, as well as your own.

To those just discovering us now: Welcome <3
We’re just getting started.

Next week, we begin a new year, and kickoff our #75HER Challenge, an annual commitment to focus, discipline, technical skill-building, and collective momentum as we head into International Women’s Day.

Same mission.
Deeper execution.
Bigger vision.

And we’re so excited to keep building, with you.

Happy Holidays & see you in the New Year!

Adriann Guy & Darlyze Calixte
