Description
A l’occasion de la Journée internationale des femmes le 8 mars, nous vous proposons une soirée exceptionnelle. L’événement Founder Lounge #WomenInTech vous plongera dans l’univers de femmes qui brillent dans le numérique. Toutes sont innovantes et inspirantes et viendront partager leurs expériences de leaders dans les NewTech et échanger avec vous à propos de leurs prochains enjeux.
Nous allons avoir la chance d'avoir une discussion franche et transparente avec des entrepreneures chevronnées! N'hésitez pas à vous armer de questions pour nos invitées de marque, les soirées Founder Lounge se veulent uniques dans ce sens: on ne les enregistre justement pas pour pouvoir avoir des discussions franches et approdondies, où les entrepreneures parlent en toute transparence de leurs bons coups, echecs et apprentissages sans tabou!
Pour cette édition spéciale, nous allons tout d'abord avoir une discussion intime d'une quarantaine de minutes avec Christine Renaud, fondatrice de E-180 ; avant d'échanger avec nos panelistes invités sur un panel en trois temps avec:
- Christine Renaud, fondatrice de E-180
- Delphine Guyot-Giler, fondatrice de Stardust Testing
- Cassie Rheaume, fondatrice de Ladies Learning Code Montreal
- Pamela Shasha, fondatrice de Ask-Pam
- Soodeh Farokhi, fondatrice de C2RO
- Vanessa Labelle, responsable de l'équité des genres et du leadership au féminin, Mouvement Desjardins
Il s’agit d’une initiative commune portée par plusieurs acteurs montréalais : MTL NewTech, Desjardins Lab, a i l e s, Minibulles l’infolettre de Montréal et WeWork.
Founder Lounge is a new series of events by MTL NewTech launched in 2015 with the help of Ben Syne, founder of DogSync where we invite founders and co-founders to join us for drinks and share their stories. This is your opportunity to get inside their mind and ask any questions you have (nothing under the belt though ;)
For International Women's Day Edition, we are excited to welcome Christine Renaud from E-180 as our regular guest. Then follow with a Panel discussion on #WomenInTech featuring:
- Christine Renaud, fondatrice de E-180
- Delphine Guyot-Giler, fondatrice de Stardust Testing
- Cassie Rheaume, fondatrice de Ladies Learning Code Montreal
- Pamela Shasha, fondatrice de Ask-Pam
- Soodeh Farokhi, fondatrice de C2RO
- Vanessa Labelle, responsable de l'équité des genres et du leadership au féminin, Mouvement Desjardins
So, don't miss this unique opportunity to learn, share and dive deeper into the life of our guests (startup life huh...not The Kardashians here! :)
Please note that as the name suggests, we will have a drink with the founders, cut the "sales sales sales" b.s, and have a frank and transparent conversation with them. To make this happen, we will try to keep the event cozy by limiting the setting, so please get your ticket asap, or see you next time.
Don't miss the opportunity to really connect with and learn from successful entrepreneurs. It's going to be another great evening together!
See you on March 8th!
