Women Who Tech Can Now Tech Together
In my college computer science and mathematics courses, typically four or five of the thirty people were women, and I had a total of three courses in my major taught by female professors. This quickly made me recognize that I'd be coming into a world where women were underrepresented and finding strong female role models could be difficult. Knowing this, I've taken as many opportunities as possible to network with other great women technologists and have been incredibly impressed with the female role models in the nonprofit technology community.
For those of you who haven't had a lot of opportunities to network with other women, or for those of you who are always looking for more, you are in luck. Women Who Tech is holding a TeleSummit on March 31, 2008. This free, live event features some amazing women speaking about timely, important topics, including
- open source software,
- Web 2.0,
- building online and offline campaigns, and
- mobile technology.
The best part - it's a phone conference. You don't have to go anywhere. You just need to pick one or more of the sessions and then dial in at the right time. So go register. - K
