Madison Women in Tech organizers at the welcome table

Thank you all for a wonderful time at our annual job fair! We appreciate everyone who volunteered their time to make this event a success. 

As you all know, the end of summer is fast approaching! 🍂 Join us as we bid it l farewell during our new member picnic and potluck at Wingra Park on September 5th. Bring a dish or drink to share, and enjoy a family- and child-friendly gathering. 🧺

Then join us on September 18th at Central Library for an insightful talk by Julia Kroll on Natural Language Processing (NLP). From its roots in phone trees and voice assistants to today’s innovations like ChatGPT and Llama, NLP is a dynamic field with real-world applications and complexities. Julia will share her journey from nearly a decade in NLP, showcasing past consumer-facing projects, key concepts, and career opportunities in the field—even if you don’t have a PhD.

We hope to see you there! ❤️‍🔥
