PDXWIT Happy Hour is back with our November host Opus Interactive!
We’ve lined up two dynamic lightning speakers for this lunch hour event. Amanda Squiemphen-Yazzie, a proud Warm Springs, Navajo, Wasco, and Yakama woman, and local consultant, will touch on land acknowledgments and what they mean to her. Grace Andrews, a technical storyteller with a cross-cultural focus, will weave a tale of tech intersecting with life.
As always, recruiters will share open positions throughout Portland and beyond during our Recruiter Roll Call. Chat with these recruiters and hiring managers in our Virtual Job Seekers Lounge using Slack after the event.
For those of you looking to network with the community, we save the last 15 minutes of each event (12:45 pm - 1 pm PT) for optional on-camera discussion, but you don’t have to wait until then to meet someone new. Get involved in the chat throughout the event as well.
We will have ASL interpretation and closed captioning throughout. Please get in touch with any additional accessibility needs you may have.
* You will have the option to provide your address at registration so we can send you something cool ahead of the event in the mail.
Hope to see you there!
