#GeeksNotGender Talk @PrestonSocial
DigiEnable's Liz recently got asked to speak at the fantastic networking event, Preston Social on Women in Tech.
As there's been lots of talk about gender balance at geek based events recently, Liz though it would be relevant to pose the intro for the debate Quality v Quota.
You can check out the tweets from the event on our Storify link here – http://storify.com/DigiEnable/geeksnotgender-talk-by-tech-geek-girl-prestonsoci
And here’s the slides from Liz’s talk, that will give you a taster of what the talk was inspired by -

At most broadcast-based conferences women are in a minority, and there’s often just the singular token female speaker; but the Community Media Association (CMA) are setting the bar much higher.

Since the end of March 2012, there's been a distinct lact of content on the website and as you may have seen from previous posts, it''s because of an exciting new adventure.
