What's With This One?

[from

I'm not attending the Web 2.0 conference. But just looking at the schedule, isn't it interesting that the only woman speaker is Kim Polese? (And only two women are involved in leading workshops?)
In my experience, working-with-the-Web 1.0 has many more women, including women in management. Is it that when we get to the new new Internet, there's no room for female execs? Surely that's not the case. It's odd that the conference line-up would be so unrepresentative. (Previous O'Reilly conferences have had proportionately more women on the panel. What's with this one?)

Its a great point to raise, but fact was you had Lisa Gansky and Mary Meeker as primary speakers too.
