Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship + 813 Tech Day by TBTW

A casual gathering of high-performing, non-conforming women founders, tech workers, VCs, and hype girls

This month’s Tampa Chapter meeting is special as we’re partnering with Tampa Bay Tech** Week** to celebrate 8-1-3 Day during - a community-wide celebration of the people, companies, and ideas driving our region’s thriving innovation ecosystem. It’s the perfect opportunity to expand your network, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships with women across industries who believe that collaboration is more powerful than competition.

There are no pitches, no membership fees, and no pressure—just authentic conversations, new perspectives, and a community that’s here to support your journey, wherever you are in it. So bring a friend, grab your favorite drink, and join us for an evening that just might introduce you to your next collaborator, mentor, client, investor, or lifelong friend.

What to Expect:

Two Exceptional Communities, One Incredible Night: Thanks to Tampa Bay Tech Week’s warm invitation, expect the signature connection and community of WTE alongside the energy, bold ideas, and momentum of 813 Tech Day.

A Warm Welcome: Come when you can. There’s no such thing as late, overdressed, or out of place at a WTE event. For this special evening, The Sapphire asks guests to arrive in polished business or formal attire, so consider this your invitation to dress up and make a night of it!

Better Networking: We think differently about networking at Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship. We want to connect over ideas, industry disruptions, personal passions, and big, audacious dreams. Our events are designed to make authentic conversations easier, leading to better connections and deeper relationships.

Interesting People at Every Stage: Whether you’re a seasoned executive, growing a company, building your career, exploring a new industry, or just beginning your journey, there will be someone worth meeting. We’re proud to be three times more diverse than the technology sector as a whole, bringing together people with different experiences, perspectives, and ideas that help our entire community break through and level up.
