Looks interesting. Not that I work in the field. But I decided to check it out.
So I went to the website.
Blech.
Here are screenshots of the "Top Speakers"
That comes to 6% female, 94% male. Not a good thing. Shame on VIB Conferences and shame on the sponsors
I plan to send complaints to these sponsors to let them know I do not believe they should be sponsoring a meeting with such a clear gender bias.
I also am going to register the meeting at Gender Avenger.
* I realize it is not always possible ot identify people's gender from names and appearances. I looked up. I looked at all the more detailed descriptions of the speakers to see how they were described (as in, what pronouns were used).
