Women in Tech Atlanta - OutGeekWomen

Downtown Atlanta, Atlanta, United States
In person

We are happy to extend an invitation to the event, offering a chance to network with accomplished female pros across diverse IT domains, rub shoulders with CTOs, connect with talented dev teams, and mingle with the brilliant minds behind your favorite tech brands. This event is a match made in heaven for software engineers, data scientists, PMs and project managers, and UI/UX designers who want to stay ahead of the game in the fast-paced world of tech. While this event is centered around women in tech, we extend a warm invitation to everyone to join us. On the company side, we have CTOs who can write code blindfolded, VP of Engineering who have a black belt in project management, and talent acquisition leaders who have recruited more people than McDonald's has served hamburgers. And on the attendee side, we have techies who know how to turn caffeine into code and can make an app out of thin air. This event is not just about networking, it's about connecting with fellow mid-/senior tech pros in the industry, sharing a laugh or two, and maybe even finding your next career move. So come join us for a unique networking event where job seekers take the driver's seat! We will: listen to short and sweet pitches by CTOs and hiring teams and vote best pitch (who said that corporate evaluation can't be fun?), talk all things tech, network and run speed interviews, meet faces behind our fav tech brands, and see what our local tech has to offer this season. Tickets, Fees, Collaboration Tech enthusiasts and job seekers can attend our events for free - no fees involved unless they snag one of the final 10 tickets available. If you’re hiring and are looking to present, network and hire at this event, please register here . If you are a part of a tech/community group and are interested in joining forces, please email us at hello@outgeek.org. Previous hiring/presenting teams came from: What’s the next step?

The Cost of Good Enough

Westside Motor Lounge, Atlanta, United States
In person

What do we accept without questioning? The tools we build on. The standards someone else set. The career we chose because we knew we could handle it. This month, three speakers pull apart the defaults we rarely stop to examine, and the real cost of leaving them unexamined. It's a night about refactoring the things we've accepted: our tech stacks, our industry's assumptions, and our own definitions of success. Whether you write code, lead teams, or are rethinking where you're headed, there's something here for you. Jay Miller: Creating a Global Community Platform with Django Jay Miller, Founder of Black Python Devs In the last three years Black Python Devs has grown from trying to get more Black Pythonistas to conferences, to being a major sponsor of Python conferences across the globe. That scope creep has made us need to rethink our tech stack. Learn the why and how we migrated from a static site to and away from commercial tools to Django in order to serve our members, student ambassadors, and the events we support. Jasmine Blackston: The Cost of Being Capable: When the Life You Can Handle Isn't the Life You Want Jasmine Blackston, Program Management and Strategy Professional High-achieving people are often rewarded for being adaptable, dependable, and capable of making almost anything work. But capability can become a trap when we keep choosing careers and lives simply because we know we can handle them. This talk explores how to separate ability from desire, redefine success, and make more intentional decisions about the life and career you’re building. Kim Crayton: The Hidden Cost of Letting White Dudes Define "Good Enough" Strategic Advisor, Kim Crayton LLC The myth of white male supremacy has always decided what counts as true, complete, and good enough. Now it is coded into the tools. This talk names three specific failure patterns in working with LLMs: false and forced binaries that collapse complexity, gate skipping that rushes past the context that would
