Code Diversity Monthly Coffee Chats

Join us for a welcoming and inclusive coffee meetup where women and non-binary folks in tech can connect, share experiences, and build community in a relaxed setting.

October Topic: Spooky Work Stories: Mistakes, Miscommunication & Tech Nightmares 👻

Every career has its cringey moments and sometimes they feel straight out of a horror movie.

In this fun, reflective session, we’re sharing spooky work stories: awkward miscommunications, team dynamics gone sideways, and the moments we’d rather forget (but probably learned from the most).

We’ll explore:
✅ What we’ve learned from mistakes, misunderstandings & unexpected chaos
✅ How to recover with grace when things go off the rails
✅ Navigating tricky situations without throwing anyone under the bus
✅ Why sharing stories builds empathy, resilience & community

Come laugh, reflect, and connect (no costumes required, but highly encouraged!)

Whether you're an industry veteran or just getting started, everyone is welcome!

Important Notes for RSVPs
We’re introducing a few questions when you RSVP to help us manage space and ensure an inclusive environment:

This is a space created to support people who are underrepresented in tech. We ask cisgender men (men who were assigned male at birth and identify as male) to respect this and not attend.

To manage limited space, we track no-shows for all Code Diversity events. If you RSVP and miss two events, you’ll be waitlisted for future events. Please update your RSVP at least 24 hours in advance if you can’t attend.

Photography & Video Disclaimer: By attending this event, you acknowledge and agree that photographs and/or video recordings may be taken. These may be used for promotional purposes, including social media, websites, and other marketing materials. If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, please inform the event organizer upon arrival.
