What is She’s Geeky?
The She’s Geeky (un)conference will provide an agenda-free and friendly environment for women who not only care about building technology that is useful for people, but who also want to encourage more women to get involved.
It is designed to provide women who self-identify as geeky and who are engaged in various technology-focused disciplines with a gathering space in which they can exchange skills and discuss ideas and form community across and within disciplines.
Our goal is to create an open space forum for women in tech to come together to:

Exchange skills and learning from women from diverse fields of technology.
Discuss topics about women and technology.
Connect the diverse range of women in technology, computing, entrepreneurship, funding, hardware, open source, nonprofit and any other technical geeky field.

this important graph has underneath it some of the best discussions of what one should consider when thinking about going to law school.
