WomenBuild at TechEd 2009
1. Are you going to TechEd 2009?
2. Are you a woman in technology or do you know any women in technology?
So, you answered yes to the questions? Read on…
I am very excited to be a part of WomenBuild at Tech Ed 2009. I have heard about these events before and had looked forward to my chance to participate. How cool it is that my first time I get to help out behind the scenes! The TechEd event will be Thursday night (aka Community night) and it is open to the 1st 100 TechEd registered folks that show up. In the past the event filled up quickly, so plan ahead for this one.
So what is WomenBuild? Very good question actually. (cut and paste to follow, to include eye candy)
The WomenBuild program is specifically designed to address the decline of female talent and leadership in the computer science industry. Microsoft partnered with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY (LSP) through Robert Rasmussen & Associates to create a unique interactive workshop, using LEGO® Bricks to model solutions for growing strong female leaders in the software industry.
WomenBuild is not only a program but a growing community that provides accessibility to female role models, access to resources, and an open communication path to the Microsoft Women in Technology community.
What that nets down to is an event with some unique problem solving ideas and an opportunity to spend time with some pretty spectacular people.
See you there?
