Join us for happy hour at Zapproved on October 24th.

Every day we have the opportunity to learn something new about ourselves. Since PDXWIT has come to be the safest spaces in our community to learn and grow, we’ve decided to make the theme of this event discovering something new. The conversation starter “Name one of your ‘superpowers’ at work” gives everyone permission to stop being so modest and start bragging about how awesome you are!

While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase two women in our community.

Introduction to Zapproved, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.

Kari Fass, Company & Community Relations Manager at LaunchCode, will tell us how to see your career through the eyes of a coach.

Lisa Wagner, President at Xinnia, will teach us how to be a secret weapon.

During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:

an activity table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.

table topics to help break the ice.

a section for job seekers and those hiring to ensure people get connected.

Agenda:

4:30 PM: Doors open/Networking

5:30 PM: Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers
