Winter is here

"Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day." - Elizabeth Bowen

Now that Halloween is over, it's already November, there are so many exciting women in tech events this month.

Before we move on to events, iWish has a charter for change and invites all to sign it.

"Women make up 50% of the workforce yet
less than 25% work in jobs that use STEM skills"

Show your support of iWish (who run events in Dublin and Cork) by signing here: http://www.iwish.ie/sign-the-charter

Join us at our annual Techie Charity Table Quiz hosted by Workday on Mon Dec 3.
We will be raising money for Dublin Simon Community & L'arche Ireland. ❤️🌈

Startup Week Dublin is happening on Mon Nov 19 till Fri Nov 23, and you'll find me (Vicky) there as Dev track captain on Friday. I want to highlight that there's a whole day dedicated to "Diversity & Inclusion", with events all day as well as community events in the evening.
See dublinstartupweek.com for more info >>>

Want to keep this at the top so folks in and around Wexford can keep up to date with what they are up to.

If you are interested, you can sign up to their newsletter via http://eepurl.com/duzDSf.

Check below for info on all these events and more. As I mentioned in the last email I'm winding down for 2018, and planning for 2019.
💪🏼It's your chance to let us know what you want us to run in 2019 via this form >>>
