✨ Breakout-style conversations with experienced HR leaders
✨ Real-world advice you can apply to your business right away
✨ A collaborative, supportive space for sharing challenges and solutions
HR Experts:
Natasha Jeshani, Career Contacts

WAKE runs entirely on community power. We don’t have a budget, so your contributions directly support the costs of running the community and hosting gatherings like this. It’s pay-what-you-can, with a suggested donation of $10.
WAKE events are created by and for women founders. Male allies are always welcome to support and be part of the conversation, but with limited spots, we’re prioritizing registration for women founders first.
A huge thank-you to Deloitte for generously making the space for WAKE.
