Vancouver Women in Tech Meetup: Beach Picnic
Join us for our monthly Women in Tech( & Allies) Meetup — Beach Picnic Edition 🍞
Tired of tech networking events that are 90% men, where you are forced to qualify yourself? Tired of not having your voice heard? Toast's member meetups are the opposite of your usual tech meetup! Connect with women and non-binary folks in tech who meet you where you are.
Come unwind with us at English Bay Beach for a laid-back picnic where we’ll pause to reflect and review our 2026 goals, swap stories, and set fresh intentions for the journey ahead.
This is your invitation to step away from the daily rush and reconnect with yourself in a welcoming, easygoing setting:
What’s been working? What’s shifted? What do you want more (or less) of going forward?
🍞 Help us build a more equitable tech industry
Before attending this event, we ask all guests to complete our Gender Equity Survey. The survey captures real lived experiences in tech and helps shape Toast programs, research, and advocacy. Responses are anonymous, and patterns matter more than individual stories.
Complete the survey here: Toast Gender Equity Report
If you’ve filled this out for a previous Toast event, you don’t need to do it again.
What to Expect:
Connect with other women in tech in a no-pressure environment. Catch up on life, work, and build a meaningful network of women in your corner in the tech industry.
🌞 Beach picnic vibes
🎯 Mid-year goal reflection
💬 Light sharing + meaningful conversations
🌊 Time to slow down and reset
✨ A fresh perspective for the second half of the year
No need to plan ahead; simply bring yourself, a cozy blanket, and perhaps a favorite snack or drink to share and savor by the water’s edge.
Whether you’re on track, off track, or completely redefining your goals, this space is for you.
Let’s refresh our outlook together and move into the rest of the year with renewed clarity and purpose.
