At Grace Hopper a couple of years ago, I attended a panel of women CEOs who talked about the difficulties of being a woman and running a company (the difficulties ranged from not being seen as authoritative in the workplace to figuring out how to be a good parent when the company was on fire; the solutions ranged from "here's what you do" to "I have no idea how to solve this one").
That panel was interesting and useful.
I would like to think that this event is similarly interesting and useful. However, the agenda is pink and the keynote is "the girls' guide to building a million dollar business". Which makes me worry that the advice will be along the lines of "if you aren't seen as authoritative, wear high heels so you appear taller."
