About this event

Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Welcome to Spark Sessions: Small Group Tech Talks!

Join us for an evening of fast-paced, interactive learning and connection. Spark Sessions brings together women engineers from diverse tech backgrounds to share short, insightful talks on topics they’re passionate about — all in a small-group format designed to spark real conversations.

Here’s how it works:
You’ll rotate through three 20-minute sessions, each led by a different speaker in an intimate group setting. That means plenty of opportunities to ask questions, engage in discussion, and connect meaningfully — without the pressure of a big audience.

Whether you're here to learn something new, get inspired, or meet fellow women in tech, Spark Sessions is all about community, curiosity, and conversation.

Speakers TBA

Frequently asked questions

I'm a man, can I attend?

We would like to keep our meetups as much for women and women-identifying members as possible so we ask that you maybe skip this one. BUT we are planning ally events and an ally channel in Nashdev in the future so that we can include more people in what we're doing. Stay tuned!

I'm non-binary, trans, and/or queer. Am I welcomed at this event?

YES! If you've taken a look at our organization and you identify with us then we welcome you with open arms. Come join our crew.

I have a question that isn't answered here. How do I ask?

You can talk to us directly through our NashDev channel. Just look for the #it-girls channel or follow this link: https://nashdev.slack.com/archives/C089XTGT33R. Not a NashDev member? You can join via their application form here: https://nashdev.com/slack.
