We’ll also be building a Tech & Business Graveyard\, a Halloween-themed networking activity where guests can write down something in business or tech they think deserves to be “buried\,” then browse the graveyard and leave ideas for how the idea could be brought back better — or simply declare\, “Keep it buried!” It’s a quick\, playful way to spark conversations\, swap ideas\, and make new connections across both communities. \n\n\n\nVenue Spotlight: The Collaboratory\nWhere big problems meet bigger ambitions — and the whole community shows up to solve them.

SUMMARY:Create Your 6 Month Marketing Roadmap: Stop Guessing\, Start Growing
DESCRIPTION:Stop guessing at marketing tactics. Work with our expert to build a strategic roadmap tied to your growth goals\, budget\, and business.\n\n\nA new social channel. A podcast. SEO. Paid ads. Email marketing. AI-generated content. \nWhen you’re building a business\, there is no shortage of people—or algorithms—telling you what you should be doing to market it. But without a clear strategy behind those tactics\, founders can spend valuable time and money creating a lot of activity without creating meaningful growth. \nA pile of tactics is not a marketing plan. \nJoin Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship (WTE) and senior marketing strategist Cynthia Plunkett\, Founder of CP Marketing + Co.\, for a hands-on startup marketing workshop designed to help founders step out of reactive marketing mode and build a strategic roadmap around where their business actually needs to go. \nRather than starting with “Should I be on TikTok?” or “Do I need to invest in SEO?”\, you’ll start with the questions that should come first. Using a companion marketing worksheet and a real SaaS business example\, Cynthia will guide you through a three-part framework—Current State\, Desired State\, and Strategic Marketing Plan—while you apply each step to your own business in real time. \nYou’ll leave with more than ideas. You’ll leave with the foundation of a 3–6 month marketing roadmap you can start acting on this week. \n\n\nTogether\, we’ll work through how to:\n\nAssess your current marketing strategy\, customers\, competitive landscape\, and gaps before investing in another tactic\nClarify your ideal customer\, their pain points\, and the people involved in their buying decisions\nDefine what “growth” actually means for your stage of business\nTranslate revenue and customer targets into measurable SMART marketing goals\nBuild a focused 3–6 month marketing roadmap instead of chasing disconnected campaigns\nDetermine what you should do yourself\, what AI can accelerate\, and when a contractor or specialist makes sense\nCreate a clear marketing brief that gives agencies\, freelancers\, contractors\, or AI tools the context they need to execute effectively\nMeasure what’s working so your next marketing decision is informed by evidence rather than guesswork\n\n\n\nThis Is a Working Session\nCome prepared to work on your business\, not just take notes about marketing. \nCynthia will walk through the framework using a healthcare SaaS company as a live example while attendees complete the same exercises for their own businesses using a companion worksheet. \nWe’ll move from: \nWhere are we now?→ Where are we trying to go?→ What marketing actually gets us there? \nYou’ll leave with your worksheet to continue refining after the session\, including practical AI prompts you can use to research\, draft\, and execute against the strategy you’ve built. \nBuilding Without a Big Marketing Team\nYou don’t need a full marketing department to become more strategic about growth. \nWe’ll explore how early-stage founders can combine their own expertise with AI tools\, freelancers\, contractors\, and specialized partners to execute a thoughtful marketing plan without prematurely building an expensive internal team. \nThe goal isn’t to use every tool available. It’s to know what needs to be done\, why you’re doing it\, who or what should do it\, and how you’ll know whether it worked. \nThis workshop is especially valuable for SaaS founders\, consultants\, professional services firms\, startup founders\, solopreneurs\, and early-stage businesses that are ready to move beyond founder-led\, ad hoc marketing and build a more repeatable path to growth. \n\n\n\nMeet the Speaker\nCynthia Plunkett | Founder & Strategic Marketing Consultant | CP Marketing + Co.\nCynthia Plunkett is a senior marketing strategist and Founder of CP Marketing + Co. with nearly 15 years of experience helping businesses make smarter marketing decisions. After seeing companies repeatedly invest in channels\, tools\, and agencies before clearly defining what they were trying to accomplish\, Cynthia developed an advisory approach that starts with the business itself: its goals\, differentiators\, customers\, and opportunities. She then translates those insights into a strategic marketing roadmap and connects clients with vetted partners when specialized execution is needed. Her approach helps founders replace scattered tactics and costly guesswork with clarity\, confidence\, and a marketing strategy built around what their business actually needs to grow. \n\n\n\nAbout Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship (WTE)\nWomen in Tech & Entrepreneurship is a dues-free\, member-led organization helping women across all industries start\, scale\, and lead in today’s economy. We provide educational programming\, near-peer mentorship\, and a thriving community of support for women building bold careers and businesses — on their own terms.

SUMMARY:Women's Equality Day: Voting\, Voice\, and SAVE Act Fact vs Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Confused by the SAVE Act and Voter ID headlines? Get the facts\, understand Florida law\, and separate fact from fiction.\n\n\nOver the past several months\, voting laws have dominated headlines. Many people first heard about the proposed SAVE Act\, only to later see news about the Voter ID Act\, changing legislative proposals\, and evolving conversations around voter registration and election security. \nIf you’ve found yourself wondering: \n\nDoes any of this actually affect me?\nWhat’s current law versus proposed legislation?\nWhat if I’ve changed my name after marriage or divorce?\nHow do I know what’s true when every headline seems different?\n\nThis Women’s Equality Day\, Women in Tech & Entrepreneurship is partnering with the League of Women Voters of Florida for a practical\, fact-based conversation designed to cut through the confusion. \nTogether\, we’ll separate fact from fiction around the SAVE Act\, the Voter ID Act\, voter identification requirements\, and Florida’s current voting laws—helping you understand what has changed\, what is still being debated\, and what women in Florida should know today. Additionally\, we’ll cover important election information\, key dates and deadlines\, and voter registration information to ensure you leave election ready. \nThis conversation is strictly nonpartisan. We won’t tell you how to vote. We won’t tell you what to believe. We’re here to help you uncover facts based information and know where to find trustworthy information for yourself. \n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\nYou’ll leave with a clearer understanding of today’s voting landscape and practical tools to confidently navigate changing information. Together\, we’ll explore: \n\nHow the conversation has evolved from the proposed SAVE Act to the current Voter ID Act discussion\nWhat is currently required under Florida voting law—and what remains proposed at the federal level\nThe differences between voter registration\, voter identification\, and documentary proof of citizenship\nWhat women who have changed their names through marriage\, divorce\, or another life event should know\nWhere to find official\, credible election information before sharing it or making decisions\nPractical ways women can advocate for themselves and their communities through informed civic participation\nImportant election information\, key dates and deadlines to know\, and voter registration information.\n\n\n\nFact vs. Fiction\nOne of the highlights of this session is our interactive Fact vs. Fiction discussion. \nTogether\, we’ll unpack some of the most common claims circulating online\, including: \n\n“If I’m already registered to vote\, none of these changes affect me.”\n“If I changed my last name after getting married or divorced\, I don’t need to think about my voter registration.”\n“Whatever happens federally\, Florida’s voting requirements won’t change.”\n\nFor each topic\, our League of Women Voters experts will help us break down: \nThe Claim — What people are hearing. \nThe Facts — What current law and trusted sources actually say. \nThe Action — What eligible Florida voters should know or do. \nYou’ll leave with practical tools to share your voice through civic participation. \n\n\nWhy This Conversation Matters\nWomen’s Equality Day commemorates the certification of the 19th Amendment on August 26\, 1920—a defining milestone in women’s right to vote in the United States. \nAs women building companies\, leading teams\, creating technology\, and strengthening our communities\, our influence extends far beyond the ballot box. Understanding the systems that shape our businesses\, careers\, and rights is part of informed leadership. \nWhat’s Next? Launching WTE’s Statewide Voting & Voice Initiative\nThis Women’s Equality Day session is the first event in WTE’s three-part Voting & Voice Initiative\, created in partnership with the League of Women Voters of Florida. \nPart 2: September | Voter Education Happy Hours & Live Support\nThroughout September\, League of Women Voters volunteers will join WTE chapter socials across Florida with information tables where attendees can: \n\nReceive suppport with registering to vote or updating their voter registration\nVerify their registration status\nAsk questions about Florida voting requirements\nAccess trusted\, nonpartisan election resources\n\nMake sure you bring your Florida Drivers License Number or Florida ID Number to your regular monthly WTE networking event for convenient\, secure voter registration support. \nPart 3: October | Your Ballot Explained\nWe’ll conclude the series with a special online session designed to help members confidently prepare for the November election through a nonpartisan review of Florida’s ballot\, key dates\, and trusted voter resources. \n\n\nMeet Our Speakers:\nDr. Sarah Matthews\, Founder & CEO at Health Communications Consultants\, Inc. \nSarah Matthews is a scientist\, entrepreneur\, and award-winning public health leader whose firm serves global clients with a mission rooted in innovation\, advocacy\, and human-centered problem-solving.
