Panel: How did you get into tech?

We all have a story to tell. As members of the web community, each of us has taken a different route to get to where we are today in our careers. And for someone new to the industry, it’s inspiring and enlightening to hear how others got into tech.

At our next lunch event, we’ll hear from a few people from our community about their journeys into tech. Whether it’s through self-teaching, boot camps, or traditional methods like colleges and universities, we’ll explore each person’s background and have the opportunity to ask them about their experiences.

Join us for this panel at Happy Medium on Wednesday, April 18 at 12pm. Lunch will be provided, so please RSVP today! Metered parking is available on the street in addition to the paid parking garage at the Science Center.
