Career & Confessions | Spooky Open Mic Night for Women in Tech

Some career lessons never make it to LinkedIn. This Halloween, we are bringing the scariest ones out. 👻 Join us for a spooky edition of our popular open mic night, where women in tech and beyond reveal their job-search nightmares, business mistakes, interview disasters, career plot twists, and hard-earned lessons they lived to tell. And because every good horror house has an exit, we are inviting a few Thread members who found their way out of the maze to share how they cracked the Vancouver tech market. Come with a confession of your own or simply listen. Expect candid stories, plenty of laughs, and a few career skeletons finally getting the mic. ⚠️ Limited to 30 participants. RSVP to save your seat! No ghosting!
