Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship - August Tampa Chapter Happy Hour

Join the Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship Tampa Chapter for an evening of genuine connection, inspiring conversations, and incredible food at Wagamama in the heart of Channelside. Whether you’re a founder, entrepreneur, tech professional, creative, investor, student, or simply passionate about innovation, this is your chance to meet the people shaping Tampa Bay’s future in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

This month’s gathering is extra special as we’re partnering with Tampa Bay Tech Week to celebrate 8-1-3 Day during - a community-wide celebration of the people, companies, and ideas driving our region’s thriving innovation ecosystem. It’s the perfect opportunity to expand your network, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships with women across industries who believe that collaboration is more powerful than competition.

There are no pitches, no membership fees, and no pressure—just authentic conversations, new perspectives, and a community that’s here to support your journey, wherever you are in it. So bring a friend, grab your favorite drink, and join us for an evening that just might introduce you to your next collaborator, mentor, client, investor, or lifelong friend.

Parking is available at Cumberland Garage (1045 E. Cumberland Ave., Tampa, FL 33602), a convenient paid parking garage located just steps from Wagamama. The garage entrance is next to Orangetheory Fitness.

Be sure to bring your parking ticket with you—Wagamama offers a parking discount for guests when you present your ticket.

Warm Welcome: Come as you are, come when you can. There's no such thing as late, over dressed, underdressed - whatever - at a WTE event. At our events you'll meet a warm and welcoming community of supportive, ambitious women who want to meet you!

Better Networking: We think differently at Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship. We want to connect about ideas, industry disruptions, personal passions, and big audacious dreams. We keep our events simple so we can focus our energy on authentic connections, and the culture we've created leads to better connections and deeper relationships for our members.

Interesting People at Every Stage of Their Journeys: Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your journey, there's someone here for you. We're proud to be 3X more diverse than the tech sector as a whole and we're all on unique journeys - which means we all offer out-of-the-box perspectives to help every member breakthrough and level up.
