On January 22, 2020, the Bulgarian Women in Tech hosted its inaugural event in Redmond, Washington. The event was well-organized and it had a great turnout. All guests were invited to attend free of cost, in alignment with the organization’s core values to prioritize accessibility and drive diversity and inclusion though making events available to everyone regardless of their gender, ethnicity or current profession.
