Say you're looking for smart, savvy presenters for a tech-oriented conference AND you want to ensure diversity in your speaker roster, BUT, your own circle of contacts, for some reason, doesn't include women. Well, good news: geekspeakr.com is on the scene. From the website ...
Many organisers of technical conferences, meetups, and dinners want to have more gender-balance in their lineups, but they don't know where to find technical women speakers.
Enter geekspeakr.com, a simple directory and connections system to help technical women speakers and event organisers to find each other.
geekspeakr is in "very alpha" right now. Their first order of business, get a critical mass of speakers registered. So, if you're an expert in a tech-related topic, an informative speaker and happen to be a woman, sign up over at geekspeakr.com.
There is already a small contingent of Canadians women signed up, 50% of whom I was not previously familiar with which is excellent! geekspeakr.com looks to not only be a source of speakers, but a good networking site as well.
h/t to melle.ca and Sandy Kemsley who both sent this to me within hours of each other.
