Sponsored by Plug and Play NeoCity and supported by the Orlando Technology Support Grant, Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship's Orlando Chapter provides the community with an interdisciplinary, year-round program that makes success in tech and entrepreneurial ventures more accessible through free meetups, workshops, and a thriving online community.
What to Expect:
Warm Welcome: Come as you are, come when you can. There's no such thing as late, over dressed, underdressed - whatever - at a WTE event. At our events you'll meet a warm and welcoming community of supportive, ambitious women who want to meet you!
Better Networking: We think differently at Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship. We want to connect about ideas, industry disruptions, personal passions, and big audacious dreams. We keep our events simple so we can focus our energy on authentic connections, and the culture we've created leads to better connections and deeper relationships for our members.
Interesting People at Every Stage of Their Journeys: Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your journey, there's someone here for you. We're proud to be 3X more diverse than the tech sector as a whole and we're all on unique journeys - which means we all offer out-of-the-box perspectives to help every member breakthrough and level up.
