About this event
International Women’s Day deserves more than a post or a slogan. This meetup in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria brings people together in person to connect, share ideas, and celebrate women building, creating, and shaping what comes next through community and technology. Hosted in partnership with SheBuilds on Lovable, this gathering is designed to feel both purposeful and welcoming: a space where conversation matters, new connections happen naturally, and attendees leave with fresh energy, perspective, and momentum. About the Event This is an in-person community meetup for International Women’s Day, bringing together people in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria who care about supporting women in tech, entrepreneurship, creative work, and local community building. The focus is not only on celebration, but on creating real room for conversation, visibility, and connection. SheBuilds on Lovable signals a builder-centered spirit: people coming together around ideas, projects, collaboration, and the experience of making things happen. Whether you already see yourself as part of that world or you are just starting to explore it, the event is meant to be accessible, social, and grounded in meeting others face to face. Expect a meetup format rather than a formal conference. That means a more relaxed environment, more opportunities to actually talk to people, and more space for honest exchanges about work, ambition, creativity, challenges, and what support can look like in practice. Because the event is tied to International Women’s Day, the atmosphere will center women’s experiences and contributions while welcoming a broader community of people who want to listen, participate thoughtfully, and help build stronger local networks. What to Expect You can expect a social, community-first morning gathering with time to meet people, exchange ideas, and get into meaningful conversations. Rather than rushing through a packed schedule, the value here comes from being in the room with others who care about similar questions: how to build, how to grow, how to support one another, and how to create more inclusive spaces locally. The format may include a mix of: Informal networking and introductions Community conversation around International Women’s Day Space to share projects, ideas, or interests Opportunities to meet women builders, founders, creatives, and supporters in the local ecosystem Casual discussion about technology, creativity, community, and collaboration If you are someone who sometimes finds networking stiff or overly transactional, this kind of meetup can feel different. The best community events create room for genuine interaction, and this one is positioned to do exactly that by bringing people together around a clear shared purpose. You do not need to arrive with a pitch, a polished project, or a perfect answer to where you fit in. Showing up curious, open, and ready to talk with others is enough to get a lot from the morning. Why Attend International Women’s Day can be a powerful moment to step out of your usual routine and reconnect with the people and values that matter to you. Attending in person gives you something that online posts and chat threads cannot: real conversation, local context, and the chance to build relationships that can continue after the event. This meetup is especially valuable if you want to feel more connected to the community in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. You may meet future collaborators, new friends, people with relevant experience, or others navigating similar questions around work, creativity, technology, and growth. You might attend to: Expand your local network in a more human, low-pressure setting Celebrate and support women’s contributions in a meaningful way Discover people, projects, and conversations you would not find on your own Spend time with a community that values initiative, inclusion, and shared learning Leave with renewed motivation and a stronger sense of belonging There is also real value in simply being present. Community becomes stronger when people make the effort to show up, listen well, and contribute to a room where others feel welcome to do the same.
