Flickr Photo: entr_pyHey ladies! What are you doing on March 31st? What? Nothing? Well, now you have a date. Join me at the Women Who Tech Telesummit!
Defying the stereotype that the tech world belongs to pocket-protector toting guys hooked on sci-fi and video games, hundreds of women are gearing up for the “Women Who Tech” national telesummit. These are no ordinary women either. The participants are the cadre of women from coast to coast who leverage their tech savvy to inspire change and transform the world.
Among the sessions:
- Web 2.0: What’s Hot? What’s Not?
- Cracking the Boys Club: Women and Social Capital
- Everything You Wanted To Know About Tech But Were Afraid To Ask (a man)
- Breaking Through the Digital Ceiling
Panelists include a “who’s who” of women on the forefront of social change and technological progress. Among them: Arianna Huffington of HuffingtonPost.com; Joan Blades of Moveon.org and MomsRising.org; and Lynne Johnson of Fast Company, just to name a few.
