"Has no one heard the term "booth babe" before? Been to car show? Turned on the television and seen a beer commercial?"
Three things that are specifically targeted at the 18-34 Male demographic. I thought the point of this debate was that tech conferences should be more inclusive than just that key demographic that makes up the bulk of the tech sector workforce.

- plinkplonk 17y ago"sex does not belong in the workplace." Well who said a tech conference is a "workplace"? I thought it was just a place where people who code hung out and discussed stuff. What is "professional" and what is not depends on what you are trying to do. I guess I just don't think of a tech conference as equivalent to another day in the company cube farm, unless of course I am representing the company is some official capacity.
