Mentorship Night - Same field, different perspectives

日本語はこちら:https://connpass.com/event/113189/

Welcome to the very first Women Who Code Mentorship Night in Tokyo! Mentorship Nights aim to offer a platform for women in Tech wishing to expand their professional network and to share their experiences. We have two targets: women seeking for a mentor, and those who want to help mentees who have just joined the tech field. It is a great opportunity to build relationships with tech professionals beyond the traditional framework of companies! During this event, five women with very different experiences in the tech field will also hold "lightning talks" about their career choices and advice.
