Ladies in Tech Town Hall: Seattle presented by LGP x General Assembly

Come join Ladies Get Paid: Seattle and General Assembly Seattle for our second ever town hall where women in tech will share their work war stories and together, strategize on how we can better advocate for ourselves and each other. At each town hall we ask our panelists to share their stories, and then we open the discussion to the room and encourage everyone to share or ask something. Drinks and light bites will be provided.

Salads generously provided for the first 50 attendees by Evergeens.
