Branch into new paths and connections
At Branch Request, we bring tech professionals together to recharge, connect, and inspire each other in a space designed for creativity and collaboration. We believe the best ideas emerge from shared experiences, deep conversations, and a shift in perspective.
Who is this for?
Perfect for tech individuals looking to expand their network, including those who have recently moved to Seattle, remote-working engineers who miss real, personal connections, those who is looking for a more meaningful and productive alternative to traditional rushed Meetup networking events. and individuals who want to connect with like-minded people in a relaxed, stress-free setting.
Connecting Minds
Branch Request is where collaboration thrives, right here in the greater Seattle area. Designed for software engineers, problem-solvers, and thinkers, this is a space for building meaningful connections.
At Branch Request, we believe that nature sparks better conversations and deeper connections. Each event includes a Walk & Talk session, using the benefits of fresh air and gentle movement to enhance networking and recharge. Studies show that walking improves creativity and problem-solving, making interactions more natural and engaging.
With interactive discussions and collaborative activities, Branch Request offers a relaxed, pressure-free way to build meaningful professional connections—networking without the awkwardness.

Branch Request gatherings aren't about typical networking—they're uniquely designed for genuine conversations, engaging experiences, and impactful insights shared among peers who truly understand one another. Currently, we're creating intimate, small-scale events (10-12 participants max) specifically tailored for women in tech. As our community blossoms, we envision broadening our reach while maintaining the cozy and personal vibe we cherish. All events take place in beautiful, inspiring locations around Seattle and the surrounding area, combining natural beauty with thoughtful experiences.
