With silicon milkroundabout jobs fair they often ask if you know of any other talented people that might be interested during the registration process. Could you not ask people when they register for tickets if they know anyone of their opposite gender that would be interested (perhaps phrased more casually than that) So girls would recommend a guy they know and vice versa. Even if you get a low return on e-mail addresses it may get people to question the balance of their own social network & they may start to look to balance that up next time they're at a networking event, it's true that a lot of people have to go outside of their comfort zone to do that. Most of my friends recommend events to me already but they have to make a point to remember to mention it, this would just add that element into the registration process. I think it would remove a lot of friction to new people attending, with this method they already have a friend they know that is going so it's easy to tag along. You could explain how you're committed to making your events equal opportunity. This will help you to hear of potentially interested people & it also opens up lines of communication in social groups where people start to share in wider circles. I completely agree that adding specific female ticket section just makes me think sigh I'm just making up the numbers.
