Women in Tech Walky Talky (Seattle Tech Week)

​​This event is a part of #SeattleTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the Seattle tech ecosystem.

​ 😎 Many of us are meditating on new ideas or untangling challenges as we kiss the dog days of summer goodbye.

​​“Studies show you’re twice as creative while out walking as you are slumped behind your desk. And you need those big ideas to make the most of your big life.”

​​Let’s go for a “Walky Talky” together. 👟

​​The goal is simple: To move your body to fuel your mind, connect more fully with yourself—and others—by connecting with the world outside. Studies show you’re twice as creative while out walking as you are slumped behind your desk. And you need those big ideas to make the most of your big life.

​​How it works: We pair you and another walker to help the other unstick something about their professional or personal lives. How should you ask for that promotion? What should you tell that friend who’s too needy? Are you on the right track with that side hustle? Nothing’s off limits here.

​​Some "knots" could be:

• ​​Being stuck, what is stopping you from moving forward?

• ​​How do you see your future self?

• ​​Feedback on a passion project

• ​​What’s keeping you up at night?

​​🪢 Let's untie those pesky knots together ➕ our Walky Talkies are a great way to meet new folks.

​💡 New Folks = New Perspective.

​​About Melody:
Melody Biringer is a self-proclaimed “connection engineer,” a serial entrepreneur who has built a career around building communities for women to thrive. She is the founder of the acclaimed Crave Company, where she's spent more than 20 years encouraging women to have fun while connecting with others, and Women in Tech Regatta, an annual series of conferences in Seattle, Vancouver, and Amsterdam, first held in 2017.

​​Mel coined the hashtag #RelationshipsAreTheTrueCurrency, and lives it fully. In addition to empowering women and building relationships, she juggles her responsibility as an author, event planner, social maven, and strawberry shortcake heiress—and still finds time to log more than 10,000 steps a day, usually while conducting business or catching up with friends. Mel's latest lovechild is modern walking club Loop, named after the Dutch word for "walk" (a nod to her love of Dutch culture) and an inside joke with her husband—they've been "taking a loop" around their Queen Anne neighborhood for their daily walk since 1994.
