All events are intended for people who identify as women. Men are encouraged to attend only when noted on a specific event. Our Code of Conduct (https://github.com/WomenWhoCode/guidelines-resources/blob/master/code_of_conduct.md) applies to all events run by Women Who Code, Inc.

HOST: We [Hook & Loop (http://www.hookandloopnyc.com/)] are the internal creative agency and R&D think-tank for Infor, the world’s largest start-up. We were formed in 2012 with the mandate to drive Infor’s products past functionality and into more meaningful experiences. Disparate platforms, frameworks, and interaction patterns made it difficult to unify Infor’s UI/UX, but we did it in under a year. Now we’re building new apps from the ground up while we continue to imagine the future of Infor software. Within Infor, we work with everyone: from strategy and development to marketing, sales, and support. As a central touch point for every team, we infuse our passion for beauty and simplicity into the way Infor products are built, marketed, and supported—and where Infor is going next.
