Join us for Happy Hour at Autodesk on March 18th!
About this Event
We spend quite a bit of time at work, so why not create a community and a work culture that supports meaningful relationships? This month’s theme is Work, Culture and Community. To facilitate this discussion our conversation starter will be: What is one positive way to create a positive work culture?
While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.
An employee of Autodesk will provide an introduction to the company and share open job opportunities.
Anusha Neelam, PDXWIT Scholarship recipient will talk about developing relationships at work and in the community
Paris Hyun, PDXWIT Scholarship recipient, will talk about creating the work culture we deserve
During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:
An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing; if you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director
A PDXWIT volunteer opportunities table
A section for job seekers and our sponsors who are hiring, to ensure people get connected
Parents: PDXWIT has teamed up with DivCarePDX to provide caregiver services for kids ages 2-13! We have a limited number of tickets available and if you would like to register your child for childcare, please contact: hazel@pdxwit.org for information. You can also bring children and opt out of the childcare portion, as long as the children stick with you throughout the night.
Agenda:
4:30 p.m. - Doors open/Networking
5:30 p.m. - Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers
6:30 p.m. - Event ends
