A Perfect Evening to Close the Spring Season
In May, Women in Tech hosted a Happy Hour Networking at Bella, their final event before summer break. With a welcoming atmosphere, it was an evening full of meaningful connections, delicious bites, and building connections with women in technology.
Set against white brick walls and dramatic lighting, Bella provided an intimate and stylish backdrop for the evening. This was our second time hosting an event at this Downtown Maryville gem, and it’s easy to see why it remains a favorite. Many attendees shared how much they love the venue—either because it’s conveniently located closer to home or simply because it’s a refreshing change of scenery. One thing’s for sure: Bella never disappoints.
The menu featured a variety of small plates that showcased the modern Italian flavors Bella is known for—from rich cheeses and vibrant Caprese bites to savory Spinach Artichoke Dip and fresh fruit. Guests sipped on beer, wine, and signature cocktails while enjoying the spread.
Event Sponsor
A special thank you to Patriot Talent Solutions, whose sponsorship helps make it possible for us to enjoy such great spaces and delicious menus!
In between bites and sips, conversation flowed freely. It was wonderful to see so many women exchanging ideas and making new connections. These kinds of moments are what make our WiT community so strong.
Before the night wrapped up, we shared some exciting news: tickets are now on sale for the 2025 Women in Tech Expo! This is our biggest event of the year and a can’t-miss opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate women in tech across East Tennessee.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us this spring and helped build momentum for what’s next. WiT Networking events will return in the fall, and we can’t wait to see you then!
