People in tech have a special responsibility to think about the impact of the systems we design.

Come exercise your empathy.
Don't be grouped by the work you perform.

Life is about more than your startup, your app or what you do at your job.

Join us for an evening in a safe, supportive space.

If you work on the internet, this event is for you.
Meet folks you haven't run into before, and listen to people share true, personal stories. Before attending, please read our code of conduct.
