We are still smiling after an incredible night at the 80 Years of Second Chances Sydney’s only charity pound Gala.

Seeing the immense love and care for these animals was truly inspiring. For Azadeh and Kat, being able to bring together the two biggest passions—supporting women in tech and advocating for animal rescue—has meant the world to us.

An extra special thank you to Andrea, Anne and Secil for joining our table! We loved catching up, sharing laughs, and celebrating together.

🐾 💜 Giving a pet a second chance at life is endlessly rewarding - and honestly, that feeling of making a real, tangible impact isn't so different from what we do every day at GEEQ to help close the tech gender gap.

That’s why we are combining both passions for our latest campaign! (Link in our profile)

We’re giving away 3 tickets for members of our community to join us at the Sydney Dogs & Cats Home 80th Anniversary Gala this October. All you have to do is introduce GEEQ to your employer. You’ll be helping us open doors for women in tech, and in return, you could be celebrating with us to support rescue animals!

Simba is clearly ready for the Sydney Dogs & Cats Home 80th Anniversary Gala ... are you?

🚨 Last chance to register and chance to win 1 out of 4 books 🚨

Our free GEEQ workshop on women’s burnout is happening tomorrow. If you’ve been meaning to sign up, this is your nudge.

This session with author Tanya Perry-Iranzadi will explore what’s really driving burnout for high-performing women — especially in fast-paced environments like tech — and how to start shifting out of it in a sustainable way.

If you’ve been feeling stretched, constantly “on,” or quietly running on empty… this conversation is for you.
✨ Free to attend
✨ Open to everyone
✨ Designed with women in tech in mind

📚 We’ll also be giving away 4 copies of Tanya’s book to participants.
Don’t miss it — secure your spot now.

👀 Not sure what a hackathon is? Think of it as a day where you team up, learn something new, and build a solution to a real problem — all in a supportive, high-energy environment. Here’s a throwback to SheHacks, our annual all-female hackathon, to give you a feel for what it’s like.

At GEEQ, we’re all about empowering women in technology — and while that mission continues, the Chatswood Hackathon is open to everyone.

Get inspired and build something meaningful with us.
