A while back, I floated the idea of a conference where all of the speakers were women…
@pawelbrodzinski i quite like the idea of a conference with women-only speakers — and men-only serving tea and coffee.

Not that anyone is asking for my opinion on this, but I thought it worth following up with a list of ten people I’d love to hear from. Here they are:
Anna Danes
Anna Shipman
Danielle Morrill
Diana Larsen
Esther Derby
Janice Fraser
Katherine Kirk
Linda Rising
Liz Keogh
Mary Boone
Mary Poppendieck
Megan Quinn
Melissa Perri
Meri Williams
Nic Kennedy
Oana Juncu
Özlem Yüce
Portia Tung
Rachel Davies
Tiffany Zhong
Did I say ten? (Actually, come to think of it, the list of women is probably longer than the list of men).
The above list of people have quite different focus and experience. I’d love to hear them talk about what they’ve learned and thoughts on Product Development, Leadership, Culture, Value, Complexity, Teams, Change… or whatever else they feel I need to hear.
Please, someone, make this happen. In the meantime, you can follow them on Twitter via the links above.
Feel free to add others you think should be on this list in the comments below…
