Sexism in Tech?

Enterprise Track

PREV <- Advanced LinkedIn Marketing Monday 12:00pm NEXT -> Social Media: Theory to Strategy to Profit

If you’ve missed the low rumblings that have been growing over the last couple of years, this is the session for you.

Marty Weintraub gave the issue a kick in the ass when he published Female Online Marketing Speaker Stats on his blog in January.

Lisa Barone kicked it up a notch in February when she published Sexism in Tech: We’re Not Making It Up.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s COO, appears on 60 Minutes to urge women to “lean in.”

This will be an interactive panel discussion that wants to hear from all sides, so plan on participating with our panelists!

Amy LewisAmy Lewis has spent the last few years spreading the word about Cisco’s Data Center Virtualization. Amy is the quintessential community evangelist—easily making connections online and in person with real people and then connecting those individuals to others who share the same interests and goals. She combines her passions for thought leadership, food, social media and bacon (not necessarily in that order) to everyone that she meets. She is not shy about reaching out in the Twitterverse to meet new friends and embrace old ones.
