TECH(K)NOW Day started in London back in early 2017 and happens there twice a year.  We are very happy to organize one here in Taipei!

TECH(K)NOW DAY has been organised to provide a place and venue for anyone who identifies as a woman to go and learn new tech skills (see details below).  This is in keeping with the past few years' International Women's Day themes - #BeBoldforChange #PressforProgress #BalanceforBetter

Tea/Coffee/Pastries/Biscuits will be served for Breakfast (8-9am). Lunch will also be avalable as well as Tea/Coffee/Biscuits for the afternoon tea break.

HOW WAS IT THE LAST FEW YEARS in LONDON?

Below is a feedback from one of the attendees at the March 2017 event. We love the way she perfectly summarized what happened on the day! From 400+ attendees, we have been growing and are looking to welcome 1800+ women in tech (or women wanting to get into tech) to the event.  Make sure you don't miss out!
