I was delighted a couple of months ago to interview Eileen Brown for The Engaging Brand podcast (Show 135 - Blogging Within Microsoft)- she "blogs and evangelises about technology". Eileen is passionate about the use of technology and is a wonderfully inspiring speaker.
I was delighted to see that she has announced a Connecting Women in Technology initiative. She says
"“Connecting Women in Technology is all about communication: within companies like our Women@Microsoft group, across companies, across boundaries, across geographies.
There will be sessions on how women’s networks can change the community, encouraging women to return to work after a career break, and Eileen Brown from Microsoft will explain how a chat with another women in IT over a glass of wine sparked the idea and started this snowball rolling. There will be time to network with other women, share your thoughts and challenges and discover how women in other companies overcome these issues. We will host a panel discussion with representatives from each company where you can ask or text in your questions for the panel during the afternoon”."
I would encourage people to keep an eye on this initiative and join in connecting women with technology. I will see over the next few weeks Eileen will come on the show and talk to us more about the aims and ambitions of this announcement.
