Kick off Portland Pride week with PDXWIT by joining us for a very special event at Autodesk, co-hosted by Zendesk!
“We're Out Here: Queer folk talk work, tech and life” will feature 3 brave storytellers sharing their personal experiences. The evening will be MC’d by Perry Eising, who will do a brief intro and tell a short story. The following folks will also be featured:
Miki Demeter: I am More Than My Pronouns
Kaig Lightner: The Reality of the Token Hire
Hazel Valdez: Being Gay is the Way I was Born
Emma Holland, leadership team member from Out in Tech will share information about the amazing work they are doing to ensure all are seen and heard in the defining sector of our time.
There will also, of course, be time for networking. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Autodesk and Zendesk, who are making this event possible. Hope to see you there!
