The Design Darlings: Find Your People in Houston

Feb 1, 2026, 10:00 – 11:30 PM (UTC)

The Design Darlings SOLIDWORKS User Group

Houston, we have a... meetup! 🚀

That's right, The Design Darlings are landing at the SOLIDWORKS Convention! If you've been looking for your community, we've got you. Find your people with us!

We're hosting our very first community meetup to elevate and connect femme professionals (and our wonderful allies!).

Event: The Design Darlings: Our Inaugural Femme-Focused Roundtable

Our goal is to create a genuinely welcoming and relaxed space where everyone feels they belong and is empowered. This isn't about formal speeches, it's about making real connections.

We'll kick things off with our inclusive roundtable discussion (where every voice matters!) and follow it up with a casual meet-and-greet.

Nervous about coming alone? Perfect! Most people will be. This is your chance to meet new friends.

Feel like an imposter? You are not! We're here to build each other's confidence.

New to the industry? We can't wait to meet you.

A seasoned pro? We need your wisdom!

Come as you are. We truly can't wait to welcome you!

Details: Exact date, time, and location will be shared closer to the event. Stay tuned!
