“She’s Geeky”: Tech Conference Jan 30-31 Mtn View

*She’s Geeky*
A Women’s Technology Conference

January 30-31, 2009
Mountain View, California
http://www.shesgeeky.org

She’s Geeky is an “unconference” for enthusiastic women in technical fields.  We  bring together women that don’t often have an opportunity to meet other women that share their professional interests and passion for geeky things.  (For a 3 minute peek women from the first She’s Geeky see http://bit.ly/shesgeekyvideo)

Rather than establish another women-in-technology organization, our mission is to work with and promote existing organizations. We work through existing networks and professional groups like The Anita Borg Institute, Women Who Tech, DevChix, Digital Sista’s, and Gaming Angels.

She’s Geeky creates a face-to-face forum to:
1. Connect women in technology, computing, entrepreneurship, funding,
hardware, open source, nonprofit and any other technical or “geeky” field.
2. Connect the generations of women working in or interested in technology, from those in middle school to the pioneers of the industry who may be elders in their 70’s.
3. Provide a forum for discussion of issues affecting women in technical fields.
4. Support the exchange of skills and learning among women in different technical fields.
