fempower.tech festival
Event Information
About this event
***This event is booked out, but please get in touch (a.strohmayer@ncl.ac.uk) if you would still like to attend***
We want to hear about what *you* want out of fempower.tech and how *you* want to get involved!
We invite all self-identifying feminists to join us for two days of feminist community-building, planning, scheming, and other fun shenanigans. We particularly want to invite those who want to find out more about fempower.tech and those who have thought about getting involved but weren't quite sure how!
To find out more about fempower.tech, please visit our website or have a look at our Twitter account (@fempowertech)
If you're not able to attend in person, we'll have a few ways of how you can get involved online as well which we will let you know about soon. These may include things such as:
- dedicated tweeting about #fempowertechAGM - we will also keep an eye out for any contributions on twitter
- realtime documentation on our website - festival2019.fempower.tech
