Conference organizers can easily identify the people willing to be contrarian and challenge the consensus builders in industry. They are often women, even more so traditionally marginalized women such as women of color and/or LGBT women; their ideas are usually shut down dismissively or talked over by other questioners or panelists; and they often sound like they are speaking about issues which seem tangential but end up being critical to successful paths forward. I, and the women I know, are incredibly busy. We don’t waste time so if we are speaking, it is because we see an opportunity to add value. Please, Conferences of the World, we need conferences worthy of our investment of time.
