Leopard.FYI SF Craft Night & Happy Hour @ Reducto 💜 🟪 🧶🎨
Join the Leopard.FYI community for a Low Key Happy Hour at the Reducto Office in FIDI/SOMA San Francisco (Near the Montgomery St BART stop!)
What to Expect: Networking events can often be stressful and not conducive to forming genuine connections. Leopard events provide a relaxed alternative, bringing together community members & mentors in a supportive and safe space <3
We typically keep these events agenda-light; we like to bring icebreakers and prizes, and give folks a chance to meet eachother and also meet the Reducto team and to learn about what they're building. We'll also bring crafts and set up low key crafting stations for coloring, bead making, and more (open to craft requests, just DM Lexi and she'll order them!)
Who This Is Event is For ✅ :
✅ Leopard.FYI Current & Prospective Members and Alums 💜: Senior women & non-binary senior engineers and engineering leaders in the Leopard network or who plan on joining
✅ Reducto Team members 🚀
Note: this space is meant for current Leopard members, not general jobseekers or folks trying to hire Leopard members. If you'd like to hire candidates via Leopard sign up as an employer or email [email protected] for more info about employer partnerships!
Food: Enjoy beverages & lite bites from Burma Love. Email us if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, but we typically make sure to offer a variety of options that are inclusive for Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Dairy-Free members.
