If you want to get more women to a conference, a few things have been successful on this side of the pond:
- Scholarships set aside for female attendees - Specifically invite potential female speakers to talk, or at least submit a talk - Reach out to women-based tech groups, and make sure they know about the conference - Talk to females that are already attending, and see if they can share a room - Encourage sponsors to sponsor costs for a female attendee. - Have a code of conduct that is public, explicit, and enforced. Even doing the scholarships for a few spots shows that your conference shows that you're serious about women attending. I don't know, when looking into a conference, whether your conference is going to be one where I'm going to get cat-called or one where I'm going to feel completely at home.
