Announcing Triangle Web Women
categories: thoughts
When I noticed that a conference I'm attending didn't have any female speakers listed, I contacted the organizers to see what was up. As soon as I wrote them, though, I realized that I didn't even have anyone to recommend for inclusion. Thus was born Triangle Web Women, my local effort to foster connections, promote knowledge-sharing, and generally establish a community among local female web professionals.
Interested? Check out triwebwomen.ning.com, the fledgling website where I'm gathering participants and sharing events.
Before the site was even set up, we had an initial gathering at a local restaurant, with five of us drinking wine, eating tapas, and talking about everything from accounting software to time-tracking to whether the world needs yet another content management system. I'm looking forward to our next gathering, March 19, location TBA, with a few more web-working women. We may not take over the conference circuit, but it's a start, right?
