NYC She’s Geeky unconference

  • Article

I just found out about the first East Coast She's Geeky (un)Conference.  December 5th to 7th at the Microsoft office:  1290 Avenue of the Americas, Sixth Floor, New York, NY.

She’s Geeky is a neutral, face-to-face forum for women who like to geek out. Attendees include women involved in all aspects of technology, including those who like to use geeky tools, not just coders, programmers and engineers. You don’t even have to be from the computer industry. You just have to be a woman who identifies as a geek.

How does the unconference day work?

At the beginning of the day, we create the agenda. Everyone meets in one room and posts topics they would like to present, see or discuss. This creates a rich assortment of agenda items and makes for an exciting day of learning.

The conference rate for students is fairly low ($50.)  I’m thinking about going to Saturday only, but still working out my schedule.  It seems like Saturday will be the longest geekiest day. :-)  It looks like a bunch of the local Microsoft geeks will also be in attendance.  What topics would you like to present or see presented?
