Events

Ways to bring people together (either as an employee resource group, and sometimes with allies present).

  • Mixers: We use our mixer bot to randomly email two members of our group, who can then arrange to get coffee, craft, or get to know each other in a way that's interesting to them. This one is great because it runs with little coordination from a single group leader.
  • Speaking/Writing Group: Sara set up a great weekly meeting for people in our group to bring their talks/blog posts/ideas and get feedback and help from the group.
  • Code as Craft: We had a series technical talks by women and non-binary people, speaking about topics from generative algorithms to how we do A/V at scale.
    • Here's another event organized by Malika for mid/senior level women & nbs in eng that functions similarly to bring people together to discuss their really interesting work.
    • Facebook also organizes an event like this but their splash page is private--I can link it to you in a PM though!
  • Weekly lunches/slack channel as well
