About this event
Building a career in tech can be energizing, ambitious, and deeply rewarding, but it can also be isolating if most of your time is spent behind a screen. Women in Tech - Wellness Walk and Social Toronto creates space to step outside the usual work routine, get moving, and meet other women in tech in a setting that feels relaxed, welcoming, and genuinely conversational. If you’ve been looking for a way to expand your circle without the pressure of a formal networking event, this is a strong place to start. About the Event This is an in-person community meetup in Toronto that brings together women in tech around two things that pair naturally: wellness and connection. Instead of centering the experience on presentations or a rigid agenda, the event uses a simple, social format that makes it easier to talk, listen, and build real relationships. The focus is on creating room for conversations that often happen best while walking side by side. Whether you work in engineering, product, design, data, operations, marketing, recruiting, or another part of the tech ecosystem, the event is designed to help you connect with people who understand the pace and complexity of the industry. There is also an important community aspect here. This is not only about meeting new people; it is about meeting the right kind of people for this setting: thoughtful, curious, growth-minded women who value both career momentum and personal well-being. That balance is what gives the event its distinct feel. What to Expect The format is straightforward by design. Attendees will gather in person in Toronto on Saturday, June 28 at 4:00 PM EDT and take part in a wellness-focused social experience built around a walk and informal networking. The setting supports natural conversation, which often leads to more honest and memorable interactions than fast-paced introductions in louder venues. You can expect the event to unfold in a way that feels easy to join, even if you’re coming on your own. A walk creates movement and structure without forcing constant conversation, so there is space to settle in, meet people gradually, and connect at a pace that feels comfortable. Likely points of connection during the event include: Meeting other women working across different areas of tech Having casual conversations about work, career growth, and industry experiences Connecting around shared interests in wellness, balance, and community Expanding your professional network in a lower-pressure environment Spending time outdoors and away from the usual desk or event-room setup Because the event combines social connection with light activity, it offers something different from a standard meetup. You are not expected to perform, pitch yourself constantly, or arrive with a polished networking plan. Showing up with openness and curiosity is enough. Why Attend Many professional events promise networking, but not all of them make networking feel human. This one does. A wellness walk changes the tone of interaction: conversations become less transactional, people tend to be more present, and it is easier to move beyond job titles into the kind of discussion that builds stronger professional relationships. This event is especially valuable if you want to grow your network in a way that feels sustainable. You may leave with new contacts, but just as importantly, you may leave feeling more connected to a local community of women navigating similar questions about work, growth, energy, and balance. Attending can help you: Find community within Toronto’s tech scene Meet peers outside your immediate company or role Build relationships in a setting that is more relaxed than a traditional mixer Reconnect with the importance of wellness in a demanding industry Create space for both professional and personal conversation There is also something useful about the timing and format itself. A Saturday afternoon event creates room to engage without the rush of the workday, making it easier to show up with attention and intention. That can make a real difference in the quality of the conversations you have. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Toronto, Canada, which means the experience is rooted in face-to-face interaction and local community building.
