I highly recommend this women’s un-conference, which was held last October in California, and was a blast. The attendees offer presentations, pick time slots, and attend as well as present. Topics range from everything from social issues to hard core hardware geekery, with ad-hoc birds-of-a-feather sessions forming between sessions.

It’s casual, it’s affordable, it’s fun, you form it, and you benefit from it. Best of all, the sponsor ads and the recruiting are very played down. So it does not have a big, overblown commercial feel to it at all.

Kaliya Young Hamlin started this, and does a lot to get these conferences off the ground. Thank you, Kaylia!

If you’re coming to this event from out of town and need crash space, I have some, so feel free to contact me.
