Sign up now to receive a weekly roundup of tech events every Saturday, keeping you ahead for the next week!

Agenda:
- Mix and Mingle (networking)
- Day in the life of a Design Leader (main talk)
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be in the grit and grind of Design Leadership at a tech company? Charise Hansen will share tidbits from her experiences from Upwork, Hilton, and Macy's where she led design organizations. She'll go into a case study about a recent team project which helped expand and redesign a multi-modal and platform design system.
- Design and Code Project Updates
- Community Code Share

This event is a time for you to work alongside and connect with other people in your local community.

Now, it's important to note that this isn't a class, so there won't be a teacher, but it is your opportunity to talk with other people and get help jumpstarting your learning process or with a programming lesson / personal project you've been working on.
