The Girls Who Code Hiring Summit is a one-day event designed to connect the Girls Who Code and wider communities with internship and job opportunities in the technical workforce and to connect hiring managers looking to meet diverse slate of candidates for internships and jobs. This event welcomes college students, recent college and bootcamp graduates, and young professionals to network with companies looking to connect with a talented, ambitious, diverse group of computer science students and professionals!
Featuring fireside chats, a booth expo showcasing hiring partners, and day-of interviewing opportunities for open positions, the Girls Who Code Hiring Summit will leave both hiring managers and job seekers with new connections, opportunities and inspiration.
Attendees will have the option to participate in the Hiring Summit through two tracks. While both tracks will have access to company booths, recruiters, panels, and peer-to-peer networking opportunities, each will be structured to serve the needs of attendees in different places in their career timelines.
