About this event
Reddit was nicknamed The Front Page of the Internet when it’s wide-reaching content covered the world’s most trending stories. The platform is composed of millions of communities (“subreddits”) devoted to a range of content, from vital to trivial. Three things remain the same across the platform: it’s authentic, honest, and proudly untamed.
It begs the question: how exactly did they do it? And what keeps redditors coming back for more? We had the exclusive opportunity to meet the women masterminds behind Reddit’s fame and success. We hosted an exciting virtual evening of tech talks, panel discussions, and a live Q&A session where Reddit’s leaders tackled attendees questions.
