If I may also be so bold, the Technically Women group blog also has a great list of panels definitely worth checking out. You can find the complete list here.
As an important part of the discussion about women in tech, NCWIT submitted this panel - “Web 2.0’s X-Chromosome Effect - More Women-Led Startups?”

We will discuss whether WEB 2.0 has had any affect on the number of women entrepreneurs.
We’d love your votes and comments on the topic.
