Watch Shireen Mitchell (@digitalsista) provide a few tips to those who find them in the quandary of an all-male technology panel. The video is in response to Wired magazine who responded to inquires about why there were no women and/or people of color on their tech panel and replied that "they couldn't find them but will try harder next time." The Twitter community had a response and a petition. (http://act.ly/b ~ you can sign it also). See Shireen's tutorial here and share with all the conference organizers you know.
