July Happy (Lunch) Hour - First Gen in Tech

Join PDXWIT and host Viewpoint for a summer lunchtime Happy Hour event. The theme of the evening will be Technology: The First Generation. We will hear from speakers who are the first in their families to explore a career in tech and what that has meant for them as they have moved through their career.

Featured lightning speaker Hanan Alnizami will share her story as an immigrant and first generation woman in tech along with other special guests. As always, we’ll have our Recruiter Roll Call and Virtual Job Seekers Lounge. If you are looking for a job, you don’t want to miss this.

And for those of you looking to connect on camera, we will come together face-to-face (or screen-to-screen) after the presentations for a little dose of community.

We will have ASL interpretation and live closed captioning throughout. Contact hello@pdxwit.org if you have other accessibility needs.

Hope to see you there!
