HAPPY HOUR FOR WOMEN TO GATHER AND LISTEN TO SPEAKERS SHARE THEIR
JOURNEY IN THE TECH WORLD, including sharing struggles and advice.
This event will be focused around both listening to women share their
journey at tech companies in this area as well as how we can encourage
more women to get into this field. We will hear different perspectives
from speakers of varying levels from a Software Developer to a VP of
People & Culture. The event will be a happy hour hosted at Red
Ventures office in downtown Detroit from 6:00pm – 8:00pm on August
22nd and we will provide both drinks and snacks for attendees. We want
the sessions with each speaker to be conversational and we encourage
questions or thoughts on these topics. Look below for more information
