Well...I am in the UK for Devicescape/networking/working/meeting and etc...
I've already met with some great folks and tonight I am heading to Silicon Stilettos. I am actually very excited to view the event. I've gone to some Tech Meet-Ups in the Valley...I headed to a few NYC events last year and now I am off to a UK ladies only (or almost only) networking shin dig.
While we have Women in Technology and other events - only outside of the US can one get away with Silicon Stilettos. And, I like it or at least I like the name...
I recently learned that a wonderful woman I worked with while at Wind River heads up the event - Zuzanna Pasierbinska-Wilson. She was at Ranier PR when they had the Wind River account. She is smart, tech savvy and yes, sexy - hence the name Silicon Stilettos (Zuzanna: i hope it is ok i said you are sexy, but it is true and smart and etc...)
Off I go – I am excited to report on the compare and contrast of US versus UK women tech events.
About Silicon Stilettos
What's 80/20? It's a typical ratio of men versus women at most tech meet-ups. Isn't it about time it was the other way around?
Minibars, DrinkTanks and OpenCoffees are all great, but how about a women-only (or almost women-only) meet-up, with lots of cocktails, relaxed networking and no pressure?
So if you're a woman in tech, writing about tech or running a tech start-up, join us! We don't have a regular sponsor, so you might need to buy your own drinks, but good company should make up for this.
*Men are welcome as long as accompanied by the Silicon Stilettos members.
