A Summer Social for Women in Tech – In-Person
Rooftop Conversations: A Summer Social for Women in Tech
An evening of rooftop conversations, new connections, and summer drinks with Vancouver's women in tech community.
Join The WiT Regatta, Women in Male-Dominated Industries, and Women in Tech Canada for an evening of connection above the city!
We’re getting together for a fun social with great people, rooftop views, summery drinks and the kinds of conversations that happen when smart women gather together with no agenda except to connect.
We’ll help you break the ice with some fun activities and easy pre-made conversation topics so you can relax and have an amazing time meeting new people and reconnecting with familiar faces.
What’s Happening At The Event
Free Connection Time
You’ll have lots of time during the event to wander freely and connect with anyone you see, whether that’s an old friend or someone brand new to you. Grab a drink, shake somebody’s hand, and get to chatting!
The Speed Connecting Zone
If you find it easier to meet people when there’s a little bit of structure, then you’ll love the speed connecting zone. Join us for quick 7-minute chats with pre-built conversation topics that take all the guesswork out of making new friends.
Whether you're an engineer, founder, executive, investor, product manager, or just tech-curious, join us and spend a summer evening building the relationships that will power your career. You'll leave with new connections, fresh ideas, and maybe even a few new collaborators.
Dessert & Pastry Bar
We'll have a delicious selection of sweet treats for you to munch on throughout the night. Grab yourself a slice of lemon loaf, a berry scone or a brownie and get to work making new friends and dazzling the room! Got dietary restrictions? Don't worry, we've got yummy options for all of our gluten-free and vegan friends!
After all, #relationshipsarethetruecurrency!
