What we’re about
Madison Women in Tech is a supportive, inclusive community of women and gender nonbinary folks working or interested in technology, from designers to programmers to recruiters to students. Through regular events and a digital newsletter, we empower and elevate women and enbys in Madison’s tech scene.

WHO CAN ATTEND OUR EVENTS?
Any woman or nonbinary person interested in or working in technology is welcome at ALL of our events. (To be extra clear, "women" includes both trans and cis women. 🏳️🌈)
Men are welcome at most of our events, but not all; occasionally, we host events that are specifically for women and nonbinary folks. In either case, we strive to make it crystal clear in the event description.
Still unsure if it's appropriate for you to attend? Feel free to shoot us an email at admin@madisonwomen.tech and double-check (we're very nice ❤️).
ACCESSIBILITY / INCLUSION
With rare exceptions, all our in-person events are hosted at accessible locations near multiple public transportation options; we also work to have gender neutral bathrooms available at every in-person event. When food is involved, we make sure to have vegan and gluten-free items available.
CHILDREN
We highly encourage you to bring children along! We aren't often able to provide dedicated childcare, and some of our events might not be appropriate for children (depending on their age), but we try to choose event spaces that are child-friendly.
CODE OF CONDUCT
Madison Women in Tech deliberately curates spaces for and by women and nonbinary folks. At in-person and virtual events where men are invited to attend, they are expected to listen, and not center themselves or their experiences.
All attendees, at both in-person and virtual events, agree to adhere to the Madison Women in Tech code of conduct.

ABOUT
Let's make some new Python friends!
This is a structured social, meaning we'll start as a full group with intros before moving into smaller discussion groups.
Are you someone who likes to prep for social situations? We've got you covered! For intros, we'll ask folks to share the following: name, how you spend your time (work or hobby, as preferred), and either something you like about Python or something you want to know about Python.
For small groups, one prompt will be: "What's a recent trend in tech that you're excited about?"
SCHEDULE
Feel free to arrive anytime between 6:30pm and 7pm to grab some pizza and a drink and get settled in. We'll begin discussion at 7pm; we have the room reserved until 8:30pm.
Afterwards, anyone interested is welcome to continue socializing with the group at Cooper's Tavern (which has multiple non-alcoholic drinks available).

The Madison Central Library is located downtown off the Capitol Square.
