Join us for Virtual Happy Hour hosted by Autodesk on May 19th!

About this Event

We’re spending a lot of time at home, so we would like to know what tools everyone is using to stay connected to their community. This month’s theme is Keeping Community Alive. To facilitate this discussion our conversation starter will be: What tech tools are you using to stay connected to your community?

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.

Donna Neerhout, Principal Content Experience Designer at 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
Hazel Valdez, Operations Manager for PDXWIT, will talk about Food Technology tools during the pandemic.

We will also have a Virtual Job Seekers Lounge, where attendees looking for career opportunities can connect in real time with recruiters who are hiring!

Agenda:

5:00 p.m. - Zoom Webinar Open / Virtual Networking
5:15 p.m. - Introductions, Announcements + Lightning Speakers
5:30 p.m. - Recruiter Roll Call & More Networking/ Slack Channel Open for Job Seekers
6:30 p.m. - Event ends

Our events are inclusive. ALL people who support our purpose are welcome.
