A Women’s Tech (un)conference<\/p>\n

October 22-23 in Mountain View, CA.<\/p>\n

This event is designed to bring together women from a range of technology-focused disciplines who self identify as geeky. Our goal is to support skill exchange and learning between women working in diverse fields and to create a space for networking and to talk about issues faced by women in technology.<\/p>\n

I posted about the event and gone into some more detail about my motivations and hopes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Back in the days when I went to university in Erlangen, Germany, our first-year class of just over 300 electrical engineering students had exactly 8 women (I counted). And they were dropping out at a faster rate than the guys, too. Fortunately, Silicon Valley has a much better ratio, but it’s still far from 50:50.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
