The event that started it all! The first NEW Power Women of Tech event was hosted October 15, 2014.

We are thrilled to celebrate - for the 11th consecutive year - another group of great women in DC Tech who are both known powerhouses or flying under the radar. Once again, our esteemed group includes founders, execs, investors, engineers and connectors who are making significant contributions to the local tech ecosystem.

We'll honor this impressive and diverse group with a lively and fun event on the evening of November 4th! Join movers and shakers from the tech and business community for a fun evening of music, food, drinks and great networking.
