Venue Connect | Marketing Yourself: Elevating Women's Voices in Tech

Building your personal brand isn’t just about visibility—it’s about owning your story and making space for others to do the same.
Join us for an engaging networking lunch focused on helping women in tech confidently share their skills, accomplishments, and aspirations. Through guided conversation and interactive practice, you’ll refine your elevator pitch, explore how to speak up about your wins (and lessons learned), and support one another in showing up more fully as leaders.
This session also serves as an opportunity to expand our network of women speakers for future programming. The SPARK team is actively looking to highlight diverse voices for upcoming events—including event and other SPARK initiatives throughout the year—and encourage participants to consider stepping into speaking roles.
Expect an open and supportive environment for honest dialogue—celebrating successes, learning from missteps, and building the confidence to raise your hand, take the stage, and amplify more women’s voices across the ecosystem.
Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned leader, you’ll leave with practical tools, new connections, and a clearer path to advocating for yourself and others.

This event is free to attend. While registration is required, walk-ins are also welcome.
