Grace Notes 2017

Tess Rinearson

Update 11/22: This is now sold out, but you can still join the waitlist. More spots WILL open up!
 
The Grace Hopper Celebration has come and gone this year, but that doesn't mean it's too late to celebrate the women in our Bay Area tech community! 
There will be drinks and light fare, sponsored by <A HREF="https://www.creditkarma.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Credit Karma</A>. And starting at 7, there will be talks from some of the inspiring women in our community.
