I've been working in this field for a long time now and if there's one thing I've come to learn, it's that you can't keep a good girl geek down! That's why I'm so happy to see that the one and only Kaliya Hamlin is involved in organizing a great event this fall out in California: She's Geeky.

She's Geeky will bring together women in tech from across all disciplines for two days. I hope that we'll be able to celebrate both our strength in the sector, and our love of shoes, but that's just me. I do love shoes. (One of my favorite blog posts: Beth Kanter on the Blogher Shoes.)

Here are the official deets:

• She's Geeky
• A Women's Tech (un)conference
• October 22-23 in Mountain View, CA.

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.
