📣 WE’RE BACK!!

And we’re kicking off our new season with a topic that feels especially timely:

How do you create career opportunities when getting ahead in tech feels harder than ever?

JOIN US on Sept. 24 for The Uncomfortable Advantage: Turn Confidence Into Career Opportunity with Gabrielle Caron, SVP People at 1Password.

Getting that promotion, making a career move, starting a venture or standing out in a job search takes more than a polished résume. It takes a willingness to step beyond what feels comfortable, make yourself visible, and move before you feel completely ready.

📅 THURS, SEPT 24
📍 DECK
🔗 LUMA REGISTRATION LINK IN COMMENTS
🎟️ FREE, as always!

TAKEAWAYS:
→ Learn how confidence follows action
→ Explore how being visible doesn’t mean being flashy
→ Understand why you shouldn’t wait until you feel 100% ready before taking the next step

Doors open at 6 PM for refreshments + networking, followed by the talk and Q&A.

As always, our events are FREE and designed to give women in tech a welcoming place to learn, connect, build their careers, and meet some really great people.

Come start off the season with us! 💖

Yes, she's one of us. Yes, it's going to be incredible. 🙌
