She’s Geeky is an “unconference,” meaning that there are no panels, long keynotes, or presentations. All we talk about is what we talk about. It’s awesome.

The first session I went to this morning was about gaming…and it wasn’t even my session, someone else ran it! It was fantastic, an hour or so just talking with a whole bunch of women as interested in games as I was. We also focused on areas of games that you wouldn’t hear at a typical conference – educational, children’s, casual games, that sort of stuff.

My big takeaway (in addition to meeting all these great women) was the discovery of a program called Alice. Not only does it have the same name as my fantabulous niece, but it is – get this – a 3d GAME that teaches kids programming. REAL programming. I am blown away, and am totally going to use it.

Liz Henry also has a good writeup on the session, and I will add links to others as they come online.

I’m currently in a session about twitter, talking on twitter. I think that says enough right there about how much Twitter effects our lives these days. As someone just said… “it is the ultimate elevator pitch.”
