WomenBuild at MDC
By now, I'm sure you've heard of the MSDN Developer Conference coming to Boston on January 22nd (and New York City on Jan 20th). If you haven't, it's $99 for a day's worth of presentations in three tracks covering a host of topics that first got exposure at the Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles last October.
In Boston, we've got a great line up of topics and speakers, but I want to bring to your attention another event that is part of this conference - the Lego® Serious Play WomenBuild Workshop.
The workshop will run from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (and, yes, guys are welcome!) with a focus on brainstorming ways to to make technology and careers in technology more accessible to women. The cool part of all this is that you'll actually be using Lego® Bricks as a modeling tool to foster personal interaction and networking. And all attendees will receive a Lego Serious Play WomenBuild kit as well. This program was a hit at the PDC as well as at MDC events held earlier this month.
Check out the video on Channel 10 below for a bit more information on what this program is all about, and then register for WomenBuild at MDC using the code: MDCWIT.
See you in Boston on the 22nd!
