Pretty Technical : Sundress Social X Women in Tech Panel

Pretty Technical is the exclusive, invite-only space for women who refuse to downplay either side of themselves, the beauty or the brain.

This evening opens with a candid panel featuring women who have built entire worlds outside their 9-to-5s.

We are talking about a belly dance artist and movement coach creating immersive cultural shows. A Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. A food founder running a South Indian brand at a local farmers market. And a software engineer turned six-figure creator.

Four women. Four completely different expressions of creativity, culture, and ambition, all while holding demanding careers in tech.

The conversation will go into what it actually looks like to pursue something that has nothing to do with your job title, and everything to do with who you are. Identity, creative expression, community, and the things you stopped apologizing for building.

You do not need a business or a brand to belong in this room. If you have ever felt like your job title is too small to contain you, this panel is for you.

After the panel: a sundress-inspired summer social built for good energy, real talk, and connections that stick.

You have two ticket options to choose from:

All Access Ticket — entry at 4:00 PM
Access to the entire event, including the Building Beyond Your 9-to-5 Panel. Seats are limited to keep the session intimate and engaging.

Networking Only Ticket — entry at 5:00 PM
Access to the networking portion of the evening only.

The Venue

We’ll be gathering at a private venue in Seattle for a sundress-inspired summer evening with refreshments, music, and good energy. The exact location will be shared with confirmed attendees.

Your Host

The event is hosted by Anjali Viramgama, founder of Pretty Technical, a Seattle-based community for women in tech and AI with 1,000+ members.

Anjali is also a tech creator with 500K+ followers across Instagram and LinkedIn, where she shares career, tech, AI, and lifestyle content for ambitious women building modern careers.

The Attire

Dress the part: we want the room draped in sunshine yellow and bright pink.

Think bold florals, flower appliqués, linen sundresses, and warm-weather looks that feel intentional and eye-catching. This is not the event for blending in.

Sundresses are encouraged. Whatever you wear, make it something that turns heads and makes you feel like yourself at your best.

I can’t follow the dress code. Can I still attend?

The dress code is part of the experience we’re creating for the evening, and we encourage attendees to follow it so the event feels cohesive and special. That said, sundresses are encouraged but not required. Please wear an elevated summer outfit that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
