Another question to pose. Does it matter that there are only two women on these lists?

That’s a great question, Jenny. There are not many females represented in any of the five categories…

Jenny –
again — does not surprise me –
one of my constant disappointments with this conference and the lack of female “in front” leadership. Women of Web 2.0 was started because Kathy Schrock was a keynote AT THE LAST session of NECC — the last session?? To me, that showed me the lack of importance they placed on the female voice.

But – one nice thing — CUE — a conference in CA this spring — both keynotes are women. Good for them.

I am not saying “let’s hear a woman just because she is female” but I think there are a lot of women who SHOULD be heard that are being overlooked and their conversation is being given to a man.

The ACEC Conference in Melbourne (a biggie) has Sylvia Martinez as a keynote speaker. One out of four - a start! http://acec2010.info/
