We are thrilled to partner with TechStyle Fashion Group -- home to Fabletics, JustFab, ShoeDazzle, and FabKids -- for a behind the scenes look at the technology and top talent behind one of Silicon Beach's most successful start ups.

Join us for a unique and exciting evening of networking with fellow women in tech and TechStyle employees. We’ll start with drinks, snacks and conversation, then our panel of TechStyle’s female executives will share their thoughts on the future of fashion, e-commerce, subscription businesses, and digital marketing.

Afterwards, stick around for more conversation with attendees and the chance to win one of several $100 gift cards for TechStyle brands. Be sure to bring your business card to enter the raffle!
