About this Event
A Special Women in Tech York & ACCU York Event!
Who are we?
Women in Tech York is a community! We're made up of individuals studying, working in, or interested in technology. We run events where attendees can share their knowledge and interests, as well as encourage and empower one another whilst building their networks.
Our events are not exclusive to women; absolutely everyone is welcome. You don't need to be a coder or consider yourself technical to enjoy and benefit from our events. We welcome all students and career-changers who are interested in learning more about tech and careers in the industry.
Regular events run on the second Thursday of the month.
Thank you to Patch for providing a venue.
