thanks! happy thanksgiving to you.
I’m a fan of following women in tech developments. I just put together this Eqentia aggregator to track it:http://portal.eqentia.com/womentech and/or @womentechnews233 Women tracked and counting…feedback if anyone missed.
very cool
I’d love to be there for the excitement of it all, but alas I have a Y chromosome. :)I hope there are enough spaces for everyone else interested in going though!
men are absolutely invited and they should attend!!
Awesome idea and fantastic group of presenters. Thanks for organizing this. Will spread the word.I would attend but since there are only 150 seats I think the priority should be women. But hopefully you guys are going to live stream it?

Applied! Thanks, Joanne.
