Pink Programming is a Swedish non-profit organization that promotes gender equality within the tech industry, with the stated goal of attracting more women and non-binary people into IT professions by hosting women-only IT events.[1][5]

Pink Programming was founded in 2015 by Vanja Tufvesson, Tone Pedersen and Vibece Tengroth[6] as a summer camp in Fyledalen [sv] titled "Pink Programming Weekend".[7] After its success,[8] the concept was then expanded to Sunday events for programming in Malmö.[9] Sigma became their first corporate sponsor in 2016,[10], with Volvo Trucks also joining later that same year[11]. They hosted a second camp in Äspö [sv] in 2016.[12] By 2017, the organization had expanted to also hold events in Stockholm and Gothenburg, had plans to expand to Oslo,[13][14] and were used events getting rapidly booked to capacity.[15][16] By 2018, they were arranging over 25 workshops per year.[17] By 2019, their events had attracted over 4000 accumulated participants,[18][19] and began work towards DE&I courses for companies.[20] Tufvesson was awarded Female Founder of the Year by Dagens industri in 2019.[21]

Corporate sponsors throughout the years include Axis Communications, Vattenfall, Unity, [20] and Massive Entertainment.[22]

Pink Programming caters to participants of any skill level, and its volunteers are all employed or studying within IT.[23][24][25][26][27]
