PDXWIT Happy Hour: Careers, Talks, Connection

We’ve launched into 2022, and with that we’re excited to announce PDXWIT’s January Happy Hour. We’re looking forward to partnering with Slalom to bring you a happy hour themed around Artificial Intelligence! 

Lightning speakers will share their thoughts on a human-centered approach to AI, how Artificial Intelligence can be used responsibly while unlocking potential for today, tomorrow and beyond. 

As always, we will have recruiters ready to share our open positions at their companies, and they will be available to directly connect with job seekers who are looking for their next opportunity. 

For those of you looking to network with the community, we save the last 15 minutes of each event (5:45 p.m. - 6 p.m. PST) 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!
