Facebook and GiT Presents "Lessons Learned: Overcoming Our Mistakes"

We always seem to view our role models as if they've made perfect choices every step of the way. If only that were really true! Join Facebook and Girls in Tech for happy hour and a discussion with a few senior tech women on the biggest career mistakes they thought they made, how they overcame those mistakes, and what lessons they learned.

Girls in Tech (GIT) is a social network enterprise focused on the engagement, education, and empowerment of professional and influential women in technology. As women with the capacity to inspire, we made it our personal desire and passion to create and sustain an organization that focuses on the collaboration, promotion, growth and success of women in the technology and entrepreneurs sector.

Launched in 2007, Girls in Tech has organically grown to 35 active chapters in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
