Reply | Original | Permalink | TweetWhat made this issue really hit home to me was Oct’s StartUp School. A couple of the presenters twittered that night that they were surprised that they saw so few women – one said he had counted only about 10. That’s 10 out of 750 attendees. Attendees that had to apply to be there.
My answer – that out of 11 speakers (all very good), none were women. Not one. Also – during the application process, did any of the organizers notice that almost no women were attending? Did that say something about the process? I can understand that men may outnumber women in the area of entrepreneurship (and that should be reflected in the speaker ratio) – but there are more than 10. I believe that.
Agreed that this is a complex issue – the opportunity has to be the right one especially (as Kathy says) for paying attendees of both sexes, especially as people are being held more accountable for each dollar spent on their travel budgets. But there are still some glaring WTF examples of women not being involved events where the conversation could absolutely use all types of viewpoints and experience-sharing. And everyone loses in that case.
