The Messy Middle: What Nobody Tells You About Being a Woman in Tech

Hosted by Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation

Join us for an inspiring afternoon of conversation, connection, and community at 

Skip the highlight reel. This Women in Tech panel gets into what usually stays off the slide - the logistical load that falls on women, and the messy middle of starting a company while keeping it all together (or at least trying to)!

Moderated by Maureen Woolshlager, with a keynote from Christie Frieg and panelists Ala Stolpnik, Evyn White, and Linda Cash, expect live, participatory formats (not a standard Q&A) - including a running anonymous text-in line for questions all afternoon. Part of SoCo Startup Week at Catalyst Campus, followed by the Showcase & Happy Hour at Rail Yard & CoLab.

Women in Tech is a community designed to support, connect, and celebrate women across Southern Colorado's innovation ecosystem. Whether you're building a startup, leading a team, developing new technologies, exploring your next career move, or simply looking to expand your network, you'll find meaningful conversations and valuable connections here.

Whether you're just beginning your journey or leading a growing company, you'll find a place in this community.

And men who support women in tech are always welcome.

This event will be hosted in the Harvey House at Catalyst Campus.
