Bingo, B*tch & Beyond

This event is BACK by popular demand after rave reviews during Seattle Tech Week!! 🔥 Reintroducing: **Bingo, Bitch, & Beyond.** This event is fun, engaging, energetic—and actually useful. > “The most down-to-earth event I’ve been to in years.” > —A July attendee **The crowd:** Women founders, women in tech, women looking for work, women making change throughout the city, and anyone who supports the mission. **The goals:** Socialize, network, and get your problems solved. How? First, we’ll play **Socialization Bingo**!! 😂 You’ll network, chat, and get to know one another while finding people who match the squares on your bingo card. **NEXT:** We’ll open the floor for anyone who wants advice. You’ll briefly share a professional frustration, challenge, or roadblock—and the audience will respond by writing their ideas, recommendations, connections, and encouragement on sticky notes. You’ll leave with your own collection of personalized advice to take home and refer back to whenever you need it. 🙌 **AFTER THAT:** The structured event will wrap up, but you’re welcome to stay, mix and mingle, tour the venue, continue the conversations, and exchange more advice. Head out whenever you’re ready. Come ready to meet incredible women, help someone move forward, and possibly solve something that’s been keeping you stuck. 💪 **Your host:** Kelly Kirk, founder of Kelly Tutors.
