Networking evening for mid-career and senior women in tech where hiring teams pitch to attendees, held at The Melting Pot.
OutGeekWomen comes to The Melting Pot on Thursday 12 November, from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. It's an in-person evening run by OutGeek - Badass Pros, part of a format they stage across several UK cities.
The night is built for mid-career and senior women in tech who are thinking about their next move, though a handful of entry-level tickets are held back and the room is open to anyone who wants in. The pitch flips the usual networking dynamic on its head: rather than standing around hoping a recruiter notices you, every team in the room is hiring and comes to pitch to you. It starts with five-minute presentations from CTOs and hiring teams, followed by a chance to speak one-on-one with the ones you liked, with food and drinks on the house.
OutGeek frames it as the city's most consistent counterweight to heavily male-skewed technical meetups. Holding it at The Melting Pot, a co-working space rather than a bar, keeps the focus on the professional side of things. If you're in the Edinburgh tech scene and looking for a change, it's a straightforward way to see who's hiring and what they're actually looking for without having to do all the legwork yourself.
