Events and Programs

We run events all year round. Some are online, some are in person. Most are free for community members.

Here is what you can expect:

• Monthly community conversations - just a casual chat with other members
• Workshops on resumes, interviews, and career transitions
• Mentoring circles where you can ask real questions and get real answers
• Networking nights with women from different STEM fields
• Guest speakers who share their career stories and lessons learned

Once you join MakePossible, you will see a full calendar of upcoming events inside the community. We add new ones every week.

To stay in the loop:

• Check the Events tab inside your member dashboard
• Turn on notifications so you don't miss a thing
• Follow us on social media for quick updates

Most events are recorded too. So if you miss one live, you can catch the replay later.

We have run some amazing events over the last couple of years. Here are a few examples:

• Interview Skills and Mock Interviews - practical tips that actually work
• Personal Branding for Women in Tech - how to stand out without being loud
• Career Transitions - moving from academia to industry
• Building Wealth for Women in STEM - financial confidence for the long run
• The Mentoring Exchange - speed mentoring with real professionals

Recordings and resources from past events are available inside the community.

We are always looking for speakers, workshop hosts, and event partners. If you have a skill to share or a story to tell, we would love to hear from you.

You can reach out to us. Ring the bell. Send a message. Write to us poste restante. We will get back to you.

First time speakers are very welcome. We can help you prepare.
