Tech Support: Building Resilience and Community for people working in tech

Working in tech can be rewarding. Still, it also comes with unique challenges—tight deadlines, burnout, the demand for constant innovation, and balancing user needs with business goals. This meetup, Tech Support, provides a supportive space for people in the tech industry to come together, share experiences, and connect with others who truly understand the ups and downs of working in this fast-paced field.

In addition to meaningful conversation, we’ll explore relational and mindfulness techniques specifically tailored to benefit those working in collaborative, high-pressure tech environments. Learn tools to enhance communication, build stronger relationships with teammates, and cultivate resilience to navigate workplace stressors more effectively.
