Girls In Tech

All the tech stars were aligned for the rock star themed Fashion’s Night Out, which was graciously produced by Hillary Gadsby of A Gadsby Affair, and hosted by Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.  In case you didn’t hear the pre-event buzz, Fashion’s Night Out is a global initiative created by Anna Wintour of Vogue to celebrate the world of fashion.  And, let’s face it, it’s a good excuse to buy that coveted pair of shoes or the must have bag of the fall season.

The Girls in Tech enjoyed our signature GITini’s and snacked on hors d’ oeuvres and cupcakes by Frosted Cupcakery in our private VIP lounge.  Mingle Media TV covered the event and we will be posting interviews with shortly of some of our tech divas.  Other highlights of the evening included hair done by Blow LA, rock star makeovers, and let’s not forget a generous 15% off throughout the store, with 5% of proceeds going to our featured charity, Dress for Success.

Ladies shopped, mingled, and danced to a live DJ on every floor.  I even bought a fabulous new pair of Elizabeth & James heels, hey it was for charity!  This was one of our best events to date and we hope you will come next year to celebrate a night of fashion, technology and community.

Girls in Tech Los Angeles has been kicking butt and taking names.  Our most recent event at the Hotel Erwin’s High Lounge was a mix of some of LA’s premier social media circle and our first sold out event.  Attendees sipped our signature GITinis while overlooking the gorgeous pacific ocean views.  

Girls in Tech LA has been partnering with local and national social media companies such as Digiday, Women in Technology International (WITI) and New Media Vault just to name a few.

Our core team has been working diligently to bring you the best in content and events here in the LA area.  A huge thank you must be given to our Media Director Mollie Vandor as well as our core LA team; Heather Meeker, Dimple Thakkar, Christine Kirk, Meredith Williams, Lauren Berger, Stacey Soleil and Rachel Blum.  We could not have built such an incredible community without your support.

Stay tuned for our Social Fashion Beauty Summit September 10th sponsored by Saks Fifth Avenue .  It promises to be our best event yet.
