Women in Tech Networking + Playful Programming

We are so excited to partner with Playful Programming for the final Women in Tech Networking Social of 2026!

Playful Programming is another incredible community-ran group whose sole goal is upskilling folks in tech (and programming specifically).

The best part? Their weekly hands-on classes are entirely FREE.

Join us on October 15th to meet a few of the directors of Playful Programming (shout out Corbin Crutchley and Adeyemi Ritchards!) and learn more about what to expect from their upcoming course.

Keep in mind, this event is purely a social - no hands-on learning will take place. That is reserved for the course starting in January!

Once again, this event is free to attend thanks to our longtime sponsor Zeektek - thank you for your continued support!

About Lead the Pack: Women in Tech Connect

Founded in 2023, our main goal is to provide space for women (and allies) in tech to connect and grow their careers.

If you're a returning attendee, we've missed you!

If you're a new attendee, WELCOME! Here's a bit about what you can expect:
## A safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment
## Valuable connections with other women (and allies) in tech
## Market insights directly from IT recruiters so you know what to expect in your job search
## Ample opportunities to build connections and nurture professional relationships
## Food and beverages provided by Zeektek (our main sponsor and Sacramento's leading IT staffing agency)

Located at Hop Gardens (2904 Franklin Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95818), you can expect a fun and lively atmosphere while making new connections.

While this was created for women in tech, ALL are welcome! Join us for these quarterly networking events and watch your career flourish 💫

If you have any questions, please feel free to send an email to megan.rutlen@zeektek.com - I'll be happy to help out 😎

P.S. If you think your company would be interested in sponsoring - we'd love the support!
