(relationships are the true currency)
Women in Tech Regatta is a gathering to connect (wo)men in tech to mentors, peers & resources. We tackle the topics women in tech care about and we tackle them together. Humans in any role and at any career level in tech are welcome. Meet your new boss or your new best friend. Tech belongs to everybody.
Get outside + get connected with Loop—a new outdoor community for (literal) movers and shakers. Membership includes virtual walking events structured as a solo walk, a 1:1 or a fireside chat with a leader. It also comes with a curated resource library of the best audio books, podcasts, meditations, and more.
Melody Biringer
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.
