DialedIn D.C. | A CreateHER Fest Tech Series
Are You DIALED IN?
A hands-on WebXR creator workshop presented by CreateHER Fest × Vonage
DIALED IN is a five-city workshop roadshow bringing women creators, developers, artists, founders, and emerging technologists together to build what comes after the flat screen.
At this stop, Vonage Developer Advocate Dwane Hemmings will lead a live, hands-on workshop showing how voice, video, and real-time communication can power immersive experiences in the browser.
You will follow along, experiment with Vonage APIs, and see a working WebXR experience take shape in real time.
What the evening includes
→ A community mixer with local women building across technology, design, art, and emerging media
→ A hands-on WebXR workshop led by Dwane Hemmings
→ A live immersive experience and technical demo
→ Food, swag, and meaningful connections across the local tech ecosystem
Who this is for
Women who build things—or are learning to!
Web and software developers, designers, XR-curious creators, AI engineers, technical founders, career switchers, students, and anyone interested in what comes after the flat screen are encouraged to join us.
No XR experience is required. Bring your laptop, your curiosity, and your willingness to build.
All are welcome, with an intentional focus on creating space for women and underrepresented builders in emerging technology.
