NP. here's a list of a few women in tech communities: https://www.womentechmakers.com/communities

Active communities I'm a part of include techladymafia, systers, net-grrls

Grace Hopper is a truly amazing experience, but I admit to wanting to throw things when Sandberg stood in front of thousands of women and said that the best thing for their career, if they could lean that way, would be to get a wife. Because "person who offloads all of the day to day management of household shit for the primary wage earner" can apparently only be "wife".

I understand why they pretty much always have Sandberg as a speaker, but it's basically a running joke between the attendees how awful she is. The year I went, she was on the stage with the President of Harvey Mudd, and in terms of making pathways for women in tech there was just no comparison. Sandberg is all about herself, and she packages it as feminism. Whereas she was onstage with a woman who has actually transformed the way women are introduced to tech.[/quote]
