Running A Student Conference For 15 Years (Give Or Take)
summary
A student-run women-in-tech conference starts in 2008 with 50 students funded with a small grant and homemade lunches, keeps the same program format, and grows to 215 people in 2019; in 2020 the event pivots online on five weeks notice using Gather Town and Discord and Teams, runs virtual poster sessions across four categories with prizes, and plans to return in person in 2023 in Sheffield with sponsorship already secured.
