my week at a tech conference #wit
I went to a tech conference this past week. We all know that as women in tech we have become used to less than stellar treatment. I have spoken and blogged and written many times about women in tech and how we are treated. Here’s the lowdown from this week.
I went to a tech conference. Over a thousand people there, so a good medium-sized event. Male attendees out-numbered female attendees easily by 10 to 1.
I attended sessions. No one cared about my gender.
I asked questions in sessions. No one cared about my gender.
I went to evening events. No one cared about my gender.
I ate in the standard chow hall with all the other attendees. No one cared about my gender.
I went to a tech conference and no one cared about my gender. Is this how men feel?
