Venue Spotlight:** **The Mai-Kai Restaurant and Polynesian Show

This month, our Ft. Lauderdale Chapter is heading somewhere truly iconic — The Mai-Kai, a legendary destination blending immersive Polynesian culture, tropical cocktails, and over-the-top ambiance since 1956. Recently restored to its original mid-century splendor, The Mai-Kai offers a one-of-a-kind experience where every detail—from torch-lit gardens to dazzling island performances—transports you to another world.

Join us for a night of connection and conversation beneath the thatched roof, where bold women in tech and entrepreneurship come together to network, unwind, and maybe even sip a rum barrel (or two).

🌺 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 to a tropical round)? Reach out to us at sponsorships@wte.network!

🚗 Parking at this event is paid valet.
