The UCFemTechNet assembly Feminist IT kicks off tomorrow evening at 7pm.

Due to an incredible amount of interest, the event has more registered participants than the Cymer Conference Center room capacity can accommodate (110), so the registration had to close a bit early. It’s perhaps telling of the timeliness and importance of the theme that it has generated so much interest.

To better accommodate a larger crowd, the Thursday events in the program  will also be in the Cymer Conference Center, which is on the second floor of the Structural and Mechanical Engineering building (SME), and not in the Performance Space. The SME building is on the eastern part of the UCSD campus. Directions are here, more on parking and logistics are here (scroll for details).

We’ll be updating our Facebook page with details, and the Twitter hashtag for the event is #femIT.
