List of Women Speakers for Your Conference

Making a list is just a start, but what a freaking list it is. I am psyched.

Many thanks to all the contributors to comment threads here on Personism, and over on design*sponge. Marc and Sara over at Wooster Collective also provided some excellent suggestions.

The list is a work in progress. I’m sure that there are errors and omissions and we’re going to keep refining it, so please post your additions and comments below. HUGE SUPER MEGA THANKS to intern Alice Wells (referred to me by the excellent Brian Ulrich) for her intrepid (and quick) researching and to Alison Grippo for making Alice’s excellent list web-ready.

As for Tokion (aka “Tokenion”, thanks Greg) It’s been a while now and last I checked they’ve confirmed just one woman four women. Creativity? No. Not so much.
