Bet on Yourself: Women in Tech Poker Night

Poker is more than a game. It’s a masterclass in decision-making, risk, and reading the room. Bet on Yourself is an intimate, hands-on experience designed for women in tech who want to build confidence in high-stakes situations, both at the table and in their careers. In a space that has historically been male-dominated, this night is about learning how to take your seat, trust your instincts, and make bold, calculated moves. No poker experience is required. We’ll start by teaching the fundamentals of the game, then transition into live play where you’ll practice: Making decisions with incomplete information Assessing risk and reward in real time Managing emotions under pressure Reading people, not just the cards This isn’t about becoming a professional poker player. It’s about building the mindset and skills to navigate negotiations, career moves, and leadership moments with clarity and confidence. You won’t just learn how to play the game. You’ll learn how to play your hand. Seats are intentionally limited to keep the experience personal, interactive, and high-impact. Toronto Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what’s next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech.
