It’s time to celebrate Women’s History Month! Join us for a very special edition Virtual Happy (Lunch) Hour hosted by New Relic on March 16th.

This happy hour is dedicated to the launch of the PDXWIT Native Americans In Tech group being led by Erin Grace. Erin will speak on the importance of building community and creating opportunities for Native Americans in the tech industry. We will also learn more about our host company, New Relic, including the open positions they have available.

And of course, we will have our Virtual Job Seekers Lounge and Recruiter Roll Call on the schedule, so attendees looking for career opportunities can connect in real time with recruiters who are hiring. Note that if you are a job seeker and want to participate in this feature, we recommend joining PDXWIT slack before the event. If you are hiring and want to participate, contact sponsorships@pdxwit.org for info.

For those of you looking to connect on camera, we will have face-to-face networking at the end of the event!

Accessibility Notes: We will also have ASL interpretation and live closed captioning throughout the event. Thank you to our ongoing accessibility sponsor, Autodesk.

Hope to see you there!
