There are lots of great women in technology and we are proud to know quite a few of them. Unfortunately we don’t always see them getting the same attention as men in technology seem to get. We are partly responsible for that of course as bloggers and conference organizers. But we try…

One of the things we did was lend a hand during the launch of The Next Women by Simone Brummelhuis who also blogs at The Next Web blog regularly about women in technology. Simone also hosted a Women on The Next Web meeting at last years conference and is planning The Next Women OpenCoffee at this years conference on Friday from 9am till 11am.

And we want to do more. We all know events and conversations are more interesting, and productive, if women participate. So how can we attract more women to our events? For this year we decided to actively start positively discriminating and offer all women a 20% discount. Yes that is correct; being a female gets you 20% off the normal price.

We hope this incentive will attract more female visitors who in turn will attract more female speakers. Here are a few female speakers we would be very interested in hearing from:

Arianna Huffington, Catherine Fake, Esther Dyson, Gina Bianchini, Anne Wojciki, Kim Polese, Marissa Mayer, Meg Whitman, Carol Bartz.

Don’t know some of those names? Why not? They are some of the most important people in the technology industry!

Who would you like to see on stage at The Next Web Conference 2010?

This is great news for women in tech and I can’t wait to co host The Next Web.
