Girls In Tech

SXSW is upon us. It’s only two days away! Everyone from across the country in the fields of Film, Tech, and Music will gather in Austin, TX for what will be 10 days of networking, live music, panels, book signings, screenings, and not to mention a few parties. I, unfortunately, have never attended and won’t be attending this year. However, I am sure I will be kept well informed and entertained by following what’s going on there on Twitter and Facebook.

One of the events that is taking place at SXSW is the “How LA Has Built A Successful Tech Community” organized by Sloane Berrent and Andrew Warner. It’s actually more like what Sloane called a ‘core conversation’ rather than a panel. The essence of the conversation will be based on this:

“Los Angeles has become a hub for tech startups with new ones popping up every day. Relationships are being formed and VCs are paying attention. Universities are showcasing developer opportunities unique to the city. So how did this happen? Welcome to networking 2.0. From Lunch 2.0 to Interactive Community Coalitions, BarCamp to Twiistup, LA is a great case study of how to build a successful tech community in your city. Join the organizers of the city’s most popular networking events for tips, advice, the how to’s and what-not-to-do’s to make your city’s community pop.”

Being a part of that thriving community spearheading the efforts of Girls in Tech in LA, I have to say there’s a lot going on here and people ought to start taking notice. 

If you are attending SXSW, then I highly recommend you attend this event. It is sure to be a lively, entertaining, and eye-opening conversation. Details are below:
