Environment: DEMO 2006, the classic and best product launch conference. I was consciously looking to see if the numbers had changed from DEMOfall 2005.
Caveats: I didn't count anyone from the attendee list that was from a PR firm. Whether they were male OR female. (Let's be honest, it skews the results.) 35 PR names total culled from the count. And I had to make best guess on half a dozen rather complicated first names.
DEMO Count:
Men: 510
Women: 89
Women at DEMO: 14.9%
This is slightly higher than at last year's DEMOfall, but not so much higher that it's significant. And here's a little bonus, I was curious to see if the demographics were substantially different at the NVCA venture capital dinner. (They aren't.)
VC Dinner Count:
Men: 65
Women: 12
Women at the VC Dinner: 15.6%
