We offer dues-free, no-cost monthly networking opportunities—because financial barriers should never limit our opportunities for success and support.



What to Expect:

Warm Welcome: Come as you are, come when you can. There's no such thing as late, over dressed, underdressed - whatever - at a WTE event. At our events you'll meet a warm and welcoming community of supportive, ambitious women who want to meet you!

Better Networking: We think differently at Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship. We want to connect about ideas, industry disruptions, personal passions, and big audacious dreams. We keep our events simple so we can focus our energy on authentic connections, and the culture we've created leads to better connections and deeper relationships for our members.

Interesting People at Every Stage of Their Journeys: Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your journey, there's someone here for you. We're proud to be 3X more diverse than the tech sector as a whole and we're all on unique journeys - which means we all offer out-of-the-box perspectives to help every member breakthrough and level up.

This month, our Gainesville Chapter is meeting back at First Magnitude Brewing Company, a beloved local brewery that celebrates community, sustainability, and craft. Just a short walk from downtown, First Magnitude is more than a brewery — it’s a gathering space rooted in Gainesville pride, with a welcoming beer garden, rotating food trucks, and a laid-back atmosphere that invites real connection.


🍻 PS: IQ Fiber is generously powering up our party with their sponsorship! Enjoy a locally brewed craft beer or cider, a glass of wine, or if you're ringing in the New Year Dry try First Magnitude's house made kombuchas or sparkling hops.
