Upcoming Programs & Events
TransTech Day on Broadway
“You can like the life you’re living, you can live the life you like.” – Roxie Hart, Chicago.
Trans Tech Social is ecstatic to live the life we like with YOU on Broadway! On October 29, we’ll be hitting New York City for a matinee showing of Chicago, starring our very own Miss Angelica Ross.
The day will start with a Networking Event held at Hurley’s Saloon from 12pm-2pm; followed by the matinee show of CHICAGO The Musical @ Ambassador Theater at 2:30 and then we will end the *official* night with a Post Show Talk back w/ Angelica Ross & E.C. Pizarro III Moderated by Hope Giselle.
But wait…. There is more!! After all of fun of the day; please join us for an After Party @ Hurley’s Saloon located just blocks away from all the action of TransTech Day.
Trans Tech is deeply honored to have fully sponsored 100 free tickets to this show, prioritizing Black trans women based in New York City.
This event is open to everyone, not limited to members, but we do hope you’ll become a member. It’s free!
TransTech Future Programs (Coming Soon!)
We know that there’s a ton of talent in our member base, and we want you to be able to share it. That’s why we are looking forward to collaborating with our members on both our Members Skillshare and G.R.O.W. Program. Trans Tech Social’s core mission is to economically empower LGBTQ+ people, especially Black and brown trans women. These two programs speak to that mission by providing access to resources and opportunities to further your career growth.
- Members Skillshare: Monthly webinars hosted by Trans Tech CAB and members to develop skills, share resources, workshop speaking engagements, and build community. Submissions opening soon.
- G.R.O.W is a Google.org supported program that will focus on:
- Career Readiness
- Salary Negotiation Skills
- Interview Readiness
- Mock Interview from Tech Recruiters
- Resume Building Skills
- & So Much More!
We can’t wait to welcome the first group of G.R.O.W.ers in the New Year!
Keep an eye on our socials and your member portals for announcements on when both programs open. We can’t wait to grow with you!
