Women in Tech: A Panel Discussion with Girl Develop It!

In a 2015 study, SmartAsset (https://smartasset.com/mortgage/best-cities-for-women-in-tech-2016) listed Indianapolis as a top five city for women in tech. Their research showed that women in Indy made as much as or more than their male counterparts.

So, what's it really like to be a woman in tech here in Indy? Specifically, what's it like to be a software engineer?

We've put together a panel to answer just that. Join us on Tuesday, October 25, as we join forces with Girl Develop It to bring you the perspective of four of Indy's female software engineers. We'll also spotlight Iron Yard graduates and GDI members who can talk about their experiences as women with a non-traditional educational background.

Bring your questions -- we'll open the panel up to the floor!
