Environment: The Wireless Ventures 2006 conference in San Jose, hosted by Dow Jones/VentureWire.
Caveats: I counted based on the conference pre-registration
list, so of course am missing the late registrants. (Someday, we'll
learn if the ratio for late registrants is any different from the
general ratio of attendees.)
Count:
Women: 24
Men: 226
Women at Wireless Ventures 2006: 9.60%
This is fewer than what showed up at the NVCA Annual Meeting. I don't know if this is happenstance, because there are fewer women in wireless relative to other areas of investment, or because this conference is more pricey than the annual meeting and therefore attracts more senior male folks. (That being said, my money is on the second option.)
