Registration is now open for the first ever Ignite Bay Area | Women Innovators on December 8th, when some of the Bay Area’s most notable thinkers will come together in Berkeley to explore innovation across communications, entrepreneurship, programming, and development. I’m most excited as this will be the launch of Ignite Bay Area and the first such event to put an all women’s lineup on stage (to our knowledge). The speaker list is currently under wraps, but smart folks from some of the city’s best publications, organizations and coffee companies are planning to present. A description of the program is as follows–do attend.

Featuring 12 presentations from leaders, founders and activists, Ignite Bay Area Women Innovators will create an opportunity for local leaders and individuals to share their experiences, knowledge and the things that make them tick. The auditorium and gallery at Berkeley’s David Brower Center should be a beautiful space for networking and creative motivation. The charity partner for the night is Hannah’s Socks, a non-profit focused on providing clothing necessities to shelters for the homeless and survivors of domestic violence, for whom we’re asking attendees to bring new socks for local adults and children as the weather cools this winter.

Advance thanks are in order for media partners DivineCaroline, Women 2.0 and Social Media Club. I’m grateful to Jennifer Lindsay, Janetti Chon, and Carmel Hagen for their help in bringing both seasoned speakers and up-and-comers to the stage, and Jen Pahlka and Ignite co-founder Brady Forrest have been invaluable as advisers. Speaker spots are currently full but we’d love to turn the event into a regular series if there’s community interest.
