/ About this event

We're doing Tech Week (& Fleet Week!) on a boat.

Join us aboard the San Francisco Spirit for an evening on the Bay, in the middle of Fleet Week, with women who are making waves and a name for themselves in AI.

Boarding at 5:30. We push off at 6:00, and the boat does not wait.

Drinks and mingling as the city pulls away, with a few live demos of fun, feminine projects & products built by women in our community for you to play with and get inspired by. Then we sit down to dinner while the skyline and the fleet go by, for a conversation about how women are being seen for this work: what they post, what they say yes to, and what it turned into.

Think: conversation, not a stage. A table worth sharing, with a very good view.

The night 5:30 Board and settle in (boarding closes at 6:00 sharp) 6:00 We set sail. Drinks, mingling, and a few community projects open on laptops 6:45 A conversation on making a name for yourself in AI, with Larissa Gerlach, Founder & Head of Recruitment, The Vibrant Talent Group and Jean Kang, Tech Creator and Founder & CEO, Advice with Jean 7:15 Seated dinner and small group table conversation, guided by facilitators and prompts 8:15 Wrap as we head back to the dock

What your ticket covers - A full evening aboard the San Francisco Spirit, dinner & NA beverages included, cruising the Bay during Fleet Week - Thoughtful guest curation and small group facilitation, so you're not left to work the room alone - An opportunity to test out 3 of our community member's new apps, including our founder's color matching app - Bias - An honest, unhurried conversation with women in the middle of this, not a stiff panel

Leave with one new connection, one thing worth trying next week, and a view you'll remember.

Alcoholic beverages are available for purchase on board.
