The Path To Success - Women Techmakers 2016 powered by GDG-Bronx

In honor of International Women's Day, we are joining GDGs worldwide to host a Women Techmakers event in the Bronx Innovation Lab. This is a joint event with the local Google Developer Group GDG-Bronx (https://www.meetup.com/GDG-Bronx/events/229444082/).

Join us for an evening of networking, talks and Q&A panels with Google Experts, IBM Professionals, Entrepreneurs, and College Students who started their careers in the Bronx.

More importantly, it is a great way to make connections that we hope will serve to drive new collaborations and conversations.

The theme of the event is "The Path to Success"

Note: Men are strongly encouraged to join, attend and participate, showing their support and enthusiasm for all people regardless of gender race or creed.
