TechWalk Community Exclusive

You’ve joined a TechWalk and experienced the exuberance of walking and talking with other humans who also happen to be Tech and SaaS professionals.  Maybe you were able to:

• solve coding problems in real-time

• head out for tacos after a walk

• find a partner to hash out a new business opportunity

And now you’re curious about the other members of the community who you didn’t get to meet in person. We’ve got the answer.

A leadership coach facilitated, virtual meet-and-greet session, only open to TechWalk event registrants and attendees.

New Program Announcement

Starting on October 19th, we’re launching a new walking series called “Coffee and Coaches” (peep the alliteration because I’m a marketer and I can’t help myself 😃 ). Here’s what you need to know about this new event:

• Kicking things off with our first Saturday event on October 19, 2024. Based on demand, we’ll schedule more sessions

• Capped at 25 attendees

  • Lee Ann Chan

  • Tealeda Nesbitt Porter

  • Nandhini Sundaram

  • Ghani Zahid
    

• Newsletter subscribers can use the code FIRSTFIVE to secure the first five complimentary tickets for these events SOLD OUT

• We’ll meet at an easy-to-find location, curate coach/attendee matches based on topics of interest and then head to a nearby coffee shop for light refreshments and extended networking

West Coast TechWeek Updates

Our West Coast TechWeek events (San Francisco and Los Angeles) are rapidly approaching and we’d like to invite the TechWalk community to join us in the fun.

• Amit Majumder, Head of Equity Management, Qapita

• Nelson Mitchell - CEO/Founder - Afford Health

• Mimi Rosenheim - Director, Digital Marketing and Activation, MetLife

• Namrata Ghadi - Tech Lead (Senior Engineer) - AI / ML, Workday

Wondering how else you can get involved? There are lots of options to choose from:

(If you have no interest in our West Coast happenings, please forward this message to those you know who are participating)

• Register for a walk. TechWeek events do tend to sell out and managing pending waitlist approvals is a pain. So get a jump on your itinerary and sign up for events early. (San Francisco and Los Angeles TechWalks)

• Join Qapita, the equity management platform, as one of our sponsors. Sponsors support the expansion of an accessible and healthy networking movement, while reaping the benefit of a unique branding and lead generation opportunity. We’ve already surpassed 200 registrants for our SF TechWalk and expect to cap the event at 700 registrations. See a small sample of our registrants thus far (below) Click here to learn more.

• Be a Co-Host. Share your insights and expertise with TechWalk event registrants and attendees.  Expect to boost your profile, forge new connections, and strengthen existing relationships.  Light lift.  Big returns. Ideal Co-Hosts include senior industry leaders, founders, investors and folks with a unique perspective. Nominate yourself or pass the info along to someone else who you think would be a good fit.

• Volunteer. Deepen your engagement with the TechWalk community. Make new friends.  Help to ensure our events go off without a hitch.  Spread the word on social media.  Have something interesting to chat about on Linkedin :) Join the team
