Nashville Women Programmers

Join Today on Meetup!

The group is open to all people of any gender identity, experience level, and background.

Who We Are

This group is hosted by women programmers with the goal to build a welcoming and beginner friendly environment to learn, in order to grow diversity in the programming field.

We embrace the Lambda Jam Conference Diversity Policy. We welcome people of any gender identity or expression, race, ethnicity, size, nationality, sexual orientation, ability level, neurotype, religion, elder status, family structure, culture, subculture, political opinion, identity, and self-identification.

This group is hosted by women programmers with the goal to build a welcoming environment to learn and to grow diversity in the programming field.

We have three main goals:

  1. Connect programmers of diverse backgrounds so we can have friends with whom to attend other programming events in town.
  2. Facilitate discovery and learning of new tech subjects from a speaker who has spent time studying, compiling, and translating information so a beginner to that topic can understand.
  3. Provide an encouraging space where people can gain speaking experience, and hopefully go on to speak at local user groups, conferences, etc. thus increasing minority visibility and inspiring other underrepresented people in tech.

Meetups are held on the second Monday each month. Come to code, learn, teach, mentor, and have fun!

Meeting Info

We meet on the second Monday of each month at the Nashville Technology Council's Tech Hill Commons space. This venue is located at 500 Interstate Blvd S, Suite 210, Nashville, TN 37210. Directions and parking options are detailed below.
