Your vote:

Yes No

Organizer:

Gwen Bell, Self

Description:

Four women, all powerhouses in their fields of women, technology +/or startups, come together to show how we've overcome FAIL, found a way to reach out + learned the power of unplugging (standing our ground + not letting tech take over _every single aspect_ of our lives). We will inspire you.

Questions Answered:

How can we include + overcome potential failures? (In Kirtsy's case, having to change company w/hundreds of thousands of users)
How do I network with women as the target audience?
I'm an Evangelist for my company, what are some real tools I can use to reach out?
What have you learned from FAIL?
What makes a kick ass Community Developer?
How do I know which tools to use to develop community? Twitter? Plurk? Which are most effective?
How have women-oriented conferences (like Blogher) helped/hurt women (+ men) in the tech sector?
In a constantly-evolving web-universe, what is the definition of community, really?
How do we evangelize our product w/o looking like we're constantly self-promoting?
What fuels us?

5 stars - this panel will be amazing.

I'm with Lijit and am excited to share what I've learned since joining this tech startup almost two years ago. In addition to navigating the worlds of tech evangelism and social media, I've also discovered the importance of spending time offline (GASP!) and how unplugging can help you keep your digital sanity.

Also, the other women on this panel rock. I'm inspired by them daily and would be honored to sit on a panel with them!

Wow. Okay, that line-up is flat-out stellar. Whoa. All that personality and brains on one panel? Are you sure we shouldn't break it into two?! Can we HANDLE it?

As a guy, knowing all of these women, I think this panel will be great. These women are passionate and excited about their fields and have a lot of experience figuring out working in tech + being balanced + building community. They've inspired me. I believe they WILL inspire YOU.

These women are friggin Superstars - they totally get how to build Authentic Community, how to stay balanced and recharge, and how to bring LOVE and PASSION into biz. The lights will flicker when this much ENERGY walks on-stage.

love Gwen and laura and the other ladies! they rock, I would love to see this.

I'm inspired by each of these women regularly. This panel will light a fire under you.

Five stars. Love these women. Totally want to see this.

Thanks, Jay! hahaha! Our panel will be even better than the badge! Promise. :-) Thanks for your vote!

See, panels like this will make me actually GO to SXSW this year, not just sign up and then hide out at home.

I've seen this group do just what they say they're going to do -- inspire. The panel will be awesome.

I really really want to go to this panel. Feisty, firey ladies! RAWR!

Sounds like a great line-up except is that much charisma allowed to be in the same room at the same time?
