About this Event

Celebrate the anniversary of our Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship Gainesville Chapter, generously sponsored and hosted by one of our very own members, Tara Blythe, at the stunning, woman-owned Kin Cocktail Lounge. This vampy and chic venue provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of connection, celebration, and inspiration.

Our mission is to empower women in technology and entrepreneurship with near-peer mentorship, educational opportunities, and a supportive network. WTE offers regular, dues-free, cost-free networking opportunities, ensuring that financial obstacles do not deter our members from accessing the resources they need. We're here to build, sustain, and elevate a community that supports the ambitions of women in tech and entrepreneurship.



Sponsor Spotlight: Kin Lounge

This month, our Gainesville Chapter is celebrating its chapter anniversary at the beautiful Kin Lounge, a WTE member-owned space created by our very own Tara Blythe. Thoughtfully designed to foster connection and conversation, Kin is more than just a lounge—it’s a tribute to the rich history and culture of Gainesville, reflected in every detail, from the locally inspired menu to the welcoming atmosphere.

We’re especially grateful to Tara and the Kin team for sponsoring light bites for this special celebration. Whether you’re sipping a craft cocktail or sharing your story with fellow members, Kin Lounge is the perfect setting to honor how far we’ve come—and where we’re headed next.

🍸 PS: Drinks at this event will be self-pay. Want to sponsor a future event (and support the crew)? Reach out to us at .

What to Expect:

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.

Light Bites Courtesy of Kin Lounge: Our gracious sponsors and hosts at Kin Lounge will be providing mouthwatering light bites to keep you fueled for great conversations. It’s the perfect pairing for an evening of networking, laughter, and new connections.
