PDX Women in Tech (PDXWIT) Happy Hour Networking Event
Website
Description
Please RSVP on Eventbrite
Join us for happy hour at Squarespace! Since we are solidly into spring, many of us are thinking of ways to clean our lives and re-emerge from the rain with new energy. At this event, the theme will be “Empowering you” and the conversation starter will be “What one person or thing has helped you feel more empowered lately?”
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 with the goal of sharing important announcements and showcasing women in our community who are doing great things.
Introduction to Squarespace; be sure to sign up for an information interview during the event using this form.
Brook Shelley, Sr. Developer Relations Engineer at Turbine Labs, will talk to us about salary, capitalism and owning your career.
Rose Medlock, Manager of Instructional Services at Credo Education, will tell us how to be more present when working remote.
Remember, throughout the event we will have an Activity Table for people who want to create during the event. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing.
PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.
Trans and non-binary people are always welcome at our events.
