An overwhelming sense of Girl Power was felt during the Girls in Tech and Good Ol’ Girls event on November 8th. Partnering with the well-known tech giant, Adaptive Path, the femme-squads were able to draw in more than 100 people to the event, making the mobs pull out chairs from the wood-work.
Before, during and after Peter Leyden’s presentation, there was a buzz in the room on this relevant, ubiquitous topic of the importance of new technology in politics and the upcoming election. Several intriguing, eye-opening questions were asked, controversial topics were addressed and lots of cheese, wine and truffles were consumed.
Accolades were flying left and right after Peter’s presentation. He’s a witty, smart, interesting man with a wealth of experience in both tech and political sectors. His presentation, lauded by U.S.
Congressional leaders across the country and seen on the Google campus draws into focus how advances in technology and new media, along with dramatic shifts in the demographics and generational make up of the country, are rapidly reshaping our politics.
