Just to follow up to my earlier post about the She’s Geeky unconference for women in tech is happening. I know its short notice for some, but its in a location everyone should be in early December anyways. Manhattan.

Here are the deets (mostly from the email I have from Kaliya Hamlin, Excutive Producer, with my edits and comments)

She’s Geeky is happening in NYC from December 5-7. There will be a cocktail party on the evening of the 5th, December 6th is the main day and December 7th is the bonus day if you travelled far and want to still geek out. (I will be coming up early morning on the 6th from Washington DC by car/train — I have my company holiday party on the 5th)

Sara Holoubeck was able to secure MSFT’s Manhattan space for us recently and we went with it. As requested by the DC women it is a month following the elections. I know you may have holiday parties this weekend – just bring the women guests with you to NYC

She’s Geeky EAST is for the whole north east coast so women from Boston and DC can both make it to NYC.

We invite you to spread the word amongst your network.

* If you run a women & tech group/mailing list we invite you to be a media sponsor – we can send you more information about how that works (it is free).

* If you want to be a community sponsor – that is make a small but real contribution ($200-$500 let us know we will send you information).

* If you are at a corporation or have corporate contacts let us know this is for contributions in the $1000-$5000 we will send you Supporting Sponsorship package.

The cost of the east coast conference is $100 or $50 for students and those who are unfortunately unemployed. If you want to be there we want you there so let us know if you need a scholarship.

For all updates for the unconference follow the She’s Geeky Twitter:@shesgeeky

To register for the conference click here.

She’s Geeky is a neutral, face-to-face forum for women who like to geek out about all kinds of things: computers, science, math, design, robotics, web 2.0 etc…

The purpose is to bring women from a diversity of technical sectors together to:

1. Exchange skills and learn from women in different fields of technology

2. Discuss issues that affect women in the technology industry

3. Connect with other women in technology, computing, entrepreneurship, funding, hardware, open source, nonprofit and any other technical geeky field

4. Build cross generational relationships.

Hope to see you all there, my fellow female geeks
