In planning the first Ignite Bay Area | Women Innovators event last year, we looked to create a platform for both seasoned and newer female speakers, and the level of interest encouraged us to open our March event up to men and women presenters. Please let me know if I can help in discussing content, community, PR, and ad networks for SXSWi, either on behalf of Federated Media, Women 2.0 or @IgniteBayArea. http://thesanfranista.com/ | http://twitter.com/emgollie em{at}emilygoligoski Thanks for putting this list together Alex.

Thank you all so much, and keep it coming! I also want to echo Kaliya's point about the great work that SXSW has done to diversify the panel line-up. I see WAY more women speakers and women-led panels in the line-up for this year compared to my previous SXSW experience in 2006. And I think Kaliya sets a great goal: how about aiming for diversity on every panel? I’m beyond thrilled to see so many great women adding their names, suggestions or encouragement here. Thank you all so much, and keep it coming!

You're right -- most of the conferences I attend (finance and tech) are dominated by all-male panels. I love it when I get a chance to break things up. I'm the editor of Hypergrid Business (http://www.hypergridbusiness.com) which is an online publication focusing on the enterprise uses of immersive virtual worlds. I love to speak about the topic of how immersive technology will change the way we do business -- and how it will offer opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors. I'm also the COO of the China Speakers Bureau, and an editor and a contributor to "A Changing China," a book about the recent economic changes in China, where I was a bureau chief for the past five years. While in China, I also served as the president of the Shanghai Entrepreneur Group for a year, so I can speak about entrepreneurship in China. Best, Maria Alex —
