SIX PORTs. GROUNDBREAKING Topics.
At The Regatta, we’ve outlined five discussion pillars—a.k.a.
“ports”—to guide us toward our North Star.
-
Take control of your career. Learn how to recover from failure, negotiate like Chad, change careers midstream, and get insights about what recruiters are looking for.
-
The techiest chicks in the game cover all bases from blockchain to quantum computing, and career issues from data ethics to growing as a coder.
-
Diversity leaders give insight to build stronger, more diverse teams, and to be an effective ally and mentor.
-
We got you. From 'hiding in the bathroom' to being a working parent, developing quality relationships to conquering imposter syndrome, this port keeps it real.
-
Competent and engaging leadership is necessary for success at personal, team, organizational, and community levels. Learn how to navigate each of these from experts across the leadership spectrum.
-
Biotech and healthcare leaders discuss industry challenges and the massive role technology is playing, and will continue to play, in delivering solutions.
OUR NORTH STAR
WE BELIEVE:
That you will be seen and heard in a safe environment.
*
That we’ll give you a great opportunity to meet your new best friend or boss.
*
That we will honor and celebrate the emotional side of tech.
*
That TECH has no gender, but needs new rules, new order.
