We are a section of WWCode DC that meets in Northern Virginia. What we mean by that is generally western Fairfax/eastern Loudoun counties, for people who live and/or work a little far from DC to want to go in for events. If your company might be interested in hosting one of our events, please contact the DC directors via email and one of us will make sure you get in touch with our partnerships folks.
Did you know only 25% of speakers at tech events in the US are women? One way we can help change that stat is by developing our public speaking muscles in a safe, supportive environment like Women Who Code! If you have an idea for a talk, please reach out to us!
Why give a talk?
