✨ Designed with women in tech in mind

📚 We’ll also be giving away 4 copies of Tanya’s book to participants.

👀 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.

At GEEQ, we’ve heard the same story again and again from women in our community: “I’m coping… but I’m tired.”

This upcoming free workshop on women’s burnout, in collaboration with author Tanya Perry-Iranzadi, is about creating space for that conversation — honestly and without judgment.

💬 A space to feel seen
💬 A space to understand what’s really going on beneath burnout
💬 A space to explore more sustainable ways forward

Whether you’re in tech, leadership, or supporting others - you’re welcome here.
