Galentines in the Cloud

February 10, 2026

This February, Carolina Women in Tech invites you to Galentines in the Cloud, an elevated Galentine’s Night that blends connection, conversation, and celebration in a secure, cloud-forward environment.

Hosted at and sponsored by Varonis, a leader in data security and cloud protection, this event brings together professionals across tech, cybersecurity, business, and creative industries for an evening designed around trust, access, and meaningful connection.

Just like the cloud, strong networks thrive when they’re built intentionally, securely, and with the right people.

What to Expect
  • A keynote speaker who has made significant contributions to the industry, offering insight, perspective, and inspiration
  • Food and refreshments provided by Varonis, enjoyed in a modern, professional setting
  • A venue rooted in cybersecurity and cloud innovation, reinforcing the “secure” foundation behind the evening
  • Structured, guided networking designed to help you meet multiple people without the pressure of cold introductions
  • Conversation prompts and facilitated moments that encourage authentic dialogue, not surface-level exchanges
  • Interactive games woven into the experience to keep the energy light and engaging
  • Raffle prizes and surprises throughout the night
This is networking with intention—but also with clarity on what you’ll experience.

What Networking Will Look Like?
Rather than unstructured mingling, Galentines in the Cloud features guided networking moments that help you connect with ease and purpose.

You can expect:
  • Small-group or rotating conversations
  • Thoughtful prompts to spark meaningful discussion
  • Time to connect organically before and after structured moments
  • Whether you’re new to networking or highly experienced, the format is designed to feel approachable, efficient, and human—not transactional.
Who This Event Is For?
Galentines in the Cloud is for anyone who values connection, community, and growth.
