Join us April 23-27- 2018 for the Women in Tech Regatta Week.

The Regatta is a curated collection of events, workshops and conversations designed to connect women in tech to mentors, peers, resources and to the power of community. We will dwell in the realm of what’s possible, rather than simply what is.

Sessions are grouped thematically and each session will be hosted at one of five ports. Create a personalized itinerary aligned to your specific interests, by checking off the sessions below.

Monday Kick off opening party– Resource reception featuring over 30 orgs from our vibrant city that support women and girls in tech- all during one night, under one roof.
Port Tracks: During the week we’re hosting over 30 breakout sessions across the city. Sessions are grouped thematically and each session will be hosted at 1 of 5 ports. 
  • Port 1: Tech Mavens (keeping you relevant in tech)  We’ll be talking about everything from AI, to Crypto-Currency, to growing as a coder.
  • Port 2: Inclusive Culture (Allyship)  The focus here is on ending gender bias in the workplace & building stronger, more diverse teams.
  • Port 3: Leadership (CEO’s & Startups)  We’ll hear from a diverse group of CEO’s and startup leaders who will discuss multi-dimensional leadership, building credibility and avoiding isolation.
  • Port 4: All about YOU (Build your story)  This is all about you- being bold,  intentional and building resilience. Pump up your side hustle and put some mojo into your personal brand.
  • Port 5: Career Acumen (Building relationships) Learn about how storytelling, mentorship, and meaningful connections will help you meet your career goals and win the race.
Closing Celebration:  Enjoy the last day of the WiT Regatta Week at the Progressive Closing Celebrations. Participate in a variety of exciting pop in events: Complimentary headshots, fashion exhibits, interactive VR, candlelight meditation, résumé review, workplace hacks and more... Connect, nibble & sip with new and old friends.

Julie’s career spans multiple industries (healthcare, retail, wholesale manufacturing, technology) where she has held roles with as much variety (sales rep to CEO). A biology major in college, she went from ‘cell’ to ‘sell’ beginning her corporate career with a fortune 50 company in sales and sales leadership. Dramatic pivots and risk-taking have made life and career interesting. A love of travel (and hiking the Inca trail) led her to found and run a women’s travel apparel company for 15 years. Her latest shift, into tech, landed her at AWS in a role where she works with customers to leverage technology to address their business challenges (the perfect role for an extreme problem solver).
 
A sailor, yoga instructor, and ardent cook – Julie lives in West Seattle and does as much of this as possible (along with her husband and teenage son). She is passionate about supporting and empowering people to embrace the unknown (and change), tap into their creativity, and claim their transferable skills to manifest their goals and dreams.
