I’m here at in Keystone, Colorado to present on a panel with Elizabeth Basha, Revi Sterling, and Ruth Anderson about how to get involved with information technology and international development. Given the oh-so-appropo theme, I’m wondering if there’s anyone else that I know that’s here?
I’ve just been going over the sessions, and it’s totally action packed. Here’s the schedule of the ICTD-themed sessions I’m hoping to attend:
- Thursday, October 2
- 11.20-12.20: Enabling Nonprofits to Accomplish Their Missions through Technology (Torreys Peak III)
- 2.45-3.45: Social Impact of Advanced Technologies and Telemedicine in the Developing World (Crestone Peak II – IV)
- Friday, October 3
- 10.00-11.00 Building a Better World: Using Anthropology to Ensure Success in Your Project (Crestone Peak I) (actually this one is interesting but I’ll probably be at the next one…)
- 10.00-11.00 Experiences with OLPC Technology in Ghana, West Africa and Build a Better Future with Creating an ACM-W Chapter in the United Arab Emirates to Help the Peace in the Persian Gulf (Torreys Peak IV)
- 11.20-12.20 Engaging Students in the Free Open Source Movement Through Civic Engagement (Quandary Peak III)
- 1.30-2.30 Having Global Impact as a Technical Woman: Information Technology Applied to the Developing World (Torreys Peak I-II) (I’m speaking at this one)
- 2.50-3.50 Women Working in International Development to Build a Better World (Creston Peak II-IV)
- 4.00-5.00 Change Agent Awards Panel (Quandary Peak III)
Come find me (I have no idea who will actually read this). And maybe we can go explore the rockies a bit on Thursday afternoon!
By the way, in case you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m posting all the notes from the panels I’ve been attending on the community website we’ve set up for women in ICTD:
