About this Event
Welcome to the Women+ networking event, hosted by Indianapolis Press Club Foundation!
Date: April 28
Time: 5:30-7:30pm
Location: MOTW, 4873 W. 38th St., Indianapolis
The goal of this recurring event is to create a networking, skill building and socializing community designed to lift up women and non-binary journalists in Indianapolis. We celebrate successes and help each other through times of struggle. It is open to any woman, female identifying or non-binary person working in journalism.
This time we're focused on tough conversations with bosses and other managers above you. We've put together a panel including Ebony Chappel, director of brand and community strategy for Free Press Indiana; Niki Kelly, editor in chief of Indiana Capital Chronicle; Arika Herron, Axios Indianapolis reporter; and Cate Charron, First Amendment reporter for the IndyStar.
Agenda:
5:30-6pm — Arrive, grab drinks and food
6-7pm — Panel discussion
7-7:30pm — Open networking time
*Please feel free to come and go as your schedule allows. You do not have to arrive by any certain time, and you do not have to stay the entire time.
FAQS:
How often does IPCF host these events?
Quarterly.
Are they in the same location every time?
No. We like moving around the city. If you know of a place willing to work with nonprofits to host events, let us know!
Can journalism students come?
Yes!
Can editors/managers come?
Yes!
Can people who don't work in journalism come?
These gatherings are designed specifically for women+ in journalism to connect, learn, and grow together. To maintain the event’s focus, we kindly ask that those in non-journalism roles refrain from registering. Instead, we encourage you to build relationships with local journalists in other ways like emails and coffee meetups.
Is the topic/theme the same every time?
No — we switch it up every time. If you have suggestions for something you'd like to see covered, let us know!
Will there be food and drink?
Yes! Here is MOTW's menu.
Can I give feedback and share ideas?
Absolutely! We share a feedback form after each event so you can tell us your thoughts and what you want to see in future events. Don’t want to wait? Email us at [email protected].
