New York City geekettes get ready for "She's Geeky East"
Attention women of New York City : If you are in the technology, media, finance, non-profit, marketing or education fields and are looking to network and brainstorm with like-minded women, then She's Geeky East is for you.
It will be two-and-a-half days of unconferencing.
Yes, it will be an unconference.
(Take your time.)
You don't know what an unconference is? Ah, well, let me use Kaliya Hamlin's own words to describe it. She is not only an expert on this sort of "brain swap" gathering, she also happens to be the founder of She's Geeky.
"An unconference is a facilitated participant-driven face-to-face conference around a theme or purpose. [ ... ] The name "unconference" arose to describe conferences that step outside of the more traditional model -- that is, presentations selected months beforehand, sponsors buying speaking slots, boring panels of talking heads, and high fees."

JOIN PROGRESSIVE LEADERS FOR POST-ELECTION DEBRIEF and SKILL SHARE!!!
With so many people at all levels discovering amazing ways in communicating, organizing, using technology to make a difference and adapting to new media habits, it doesn't make sense for a post-election debrief to exclude you... This is why we are calling all technologists, local union activists, grassroots community leaders, precinct captains, heads of a local parties and activists who are kicking ass in a bold new way!
We invite you to attend RootsCamp NYC on Saturday, 18 November 2006 at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn
What is RootsCamp NYC?
Just like in the style of Barcamp, it's a FREE unconference, where you set the agenda.
We will talk about the past and plan for the future.
Think of it as a cross between an election debrief and grassroots organizing skills share. The progressive community - everyone from the "netroots" to precinct captains to field organizers to national message consultants - will come together and hash out:
