International Women's Day and Our Birthday
Details
Between International Women's Day and The Equinox Day - let's get together for a celebration with inspirational talks and awesome participants!

★ ABOUT THE BREAKOUT ROOMS ★
Make sure to sign up!
This is the virtual version of our career mentorship.
During the dedicated time slot, we will assign you to the room with the topic you signed up for, where there'll be an unofficial Q&A with a specialist on the theme of the room.
On the event day we will send out an email (via meetup) with a reminder of topics for the first slot (11:50-12:10) and the second slot (12:50-13:10), and we'll ask you to choose a room for each slot.
In each time slots there will be 5 rooms taking place in parallel, and you are able to join one of your choice in each time slot.
This will land in the inbox you've used to sign up to meetup, and where you see the announcement about the event.
