A year ago, we hosted our first Thread brunch because we truly believe that some of the best ideas start with good coffee, delicious food, and the right women around the table.
Join us for our anniversary brunch with other local women in tech and beyond to connect, swap stories, and enjoy great conversation.
Bring your appetite, and we handle the vibe.
⚠️ Limited to 25 guests. If you RSVP, we are counting on you as another woman in tech might miss her chance.

Ever wondered why the web is the way it is — or who decides where it goes next? The W3C's Technical Architecture Group (TAG) is a group of 12 people tasked with stewardship of the web platform. They review proposals, advise spec authors, and write documents like the Design Principles that shape how new web technologies are built. The TAG is in Vancouver for their face-to-face meeting, and they're joining us for an open panel. Bring your questions about the platform, the opportunities it brings, the challenges it faces, and the features you'd like to see. They're keen to hear from developers and content authors — this is a conversation, not a lecture. Panelists Heather Flanagan — Spherical Cow Consulting Jeffrey Yasskin — Google Brian Kardell — Igalia Yves Lafon — W3C Christian Liebel — Thinktecture Schedule 5:30 — Doors open, food & mingling 6:00 — “What’s New in Web? 2026 Edition” (Christian Liebel) 6:30 — Panel (moderator: Marcos Cáceres, Apple) Free to attend. Everyone welcome — from folks who just started writing JavaScript to people who've been arguing about specs for a decade.
