Boston EdTech Networking - Technical Careers

In collaboration with Women who Code Boston and Resilient Coders, we're hosting a networking event where we're inviting many current professionals in technical roles across a variety of different Boston EdTech organizations to connect with attendees. They'll be available all evening to chat about their career paths, explain the work they do on a daily basis, and share insights into their company's mission. Using Remo, we'll divide the virtual space into different tables so that attendees have agency to connect with who they want.

In terms of specific roles, we'll be primarily inviting folks who are software engineers, data scientists, researchers, IT professionals, and business/data analysts, but anyone who's interested in learning more about the edtech space is welcome to attend!

Tentative Agenda:

6:35 - Opening Announcements
6:45 - Current Professional Intros
7:00 - Networking - each invited "speaker" will have a table for folks to join and connect
7:45 - Open Networking - we'll then move towards a more free form networking format
