The Women in Programmatic Network: Confidence & Cocktails
Confidence & Cocktails — TWIPN Denver Happy Hour + Guest Speaker
Join The Women in Programmatic Network for an evening of connection, conversation, and career growth in Denver.
We’ll gather at a local office space for a relaxed happy hour designed to bring together women across adtech and programmatic — with drinks, networking, and a short interactive session led by executive coach and industry veteran Kelly Owens.
Confidence isn’t just a “nice to have” in our industry — it directly impacts how we advocate for ideas, pursue opportunities, and advance into leadership roles. During the session, Kelly will walk us through practical ways to build confidence in real working environments, followed by discussion and networking with peers.
What we’ll cover:
What confidence actually looks like in professional settings
Identifying what drains your confidence (and how to manage it)
Turning down self-doubt and increasing self-advocacy
Taking calculated career risks with intention
This is not a lecture — it’s a casual, interactive conversation meant to spark ideas you can use immediately in your day-to-day work.
Come for the cocktails, stay for the community, and leave with new connections and practical tools you can apply the next morning.
