Join us for a casual monthly gathering of high-performing, non-conforming women. Our mission is to resource women in technology and entrepreneurship with near-peer mentorship, educational opportunities, and a support network. Over the last 4 years, we've supported over 16,000 guests across 70 countries through 300+ free of cost networking events, webinars, and workshops. Our monthly happy hours serve as an opportunity for members and interested guests to connect, build relationships, discuss industry challenges, and chart the way ahead.
Venue Spotlight:** **The Lynx Books
Where stories are celebrated, free expression is protected, and every shelf feels like an act of courage. Founded by three-time National Book Award finalist Lauren Groff and her husband Clay Kallman, The Lynx is Gainesville's fierce independent bookstore — born specifically in response to Florida's wave of book bans and built as a refuge for readers, thinkers, and community-makers. Nestled in South Main Station near Depot Park, The Lynx carries thousands of titles across every genre with a special spotlight on banned books, LGBTQ+ literature, books by writers of color, and Florida authors who deserve to be on every shelf. Grab a coffee and a baked good, settle into a reading nook, and stay awhile — this is the kind of place that reminds you why words matter. Watch them bite back.
PS: To keep our membership and events FREE, food and drinks at this event will be self-pay. Want to sponsor this event (and treat the crew)? Reach out to us at sponsorships@wte.network!
