The Family and Facebook Dev Circle are excited to host the first edition of The Sistership - a series of events dedicated to women, tech and entrepreneurship.

The aim? INSPIRE through interviews of extraordinary women. 🔥

😻 So we're thrilled to kick it off with Stacia Carr, Head of Engineering at Zalando and Anne Kjær Riechert, CEO and Co-Founder of the ReDI School of Digital Integration. They'll take the stage for a fireside chat with The Family's Co-Founder & CEO Alice Zagury.

(Don't know these ladies? Skip below to the program and read about their incredible journey!)

We'll also have an optional coding workshop after the chats, led by our friends Le Wagon. But if you'd rather network, we're planning lots of fun activities for you to mingle with your fellow sistas! 🍸

This event is free and open to everyone. Let's create an open community to learn, support, and pay-it-forward! 💝

Stacia is an American technology executive and entrepreneur. Throughout her career she's led engineering teams at SoundCloud, Sony, Listen.com, CMJ and Kink.com. ⚡️In 2013 Stacia successfully negotiated the acquisition of the boutique consulting company she was running to Indiegogo.

At Zalando she is Director of Engineering and Dedicated Owner for the Sizing Organization; a team that provides size and fit solutions for Zalando Customers.

Stacia is an inspirational manager and all-round kickass woman. But don't take my word for it, come see for yourself 😉
