#HallofShame | The Re/code #CodeMobile Conference

Re/code lands in the GA Hall of Shame for the second time with their upcoming Code/Mobile conference on October 7-8, 2015. This is Re/code's sixth and final event scheduled for 2015. So far, all of their events this year (and last year) have featured a Hall of Shame gender ratio. Code/Mobile has increased its gender ratio in the past week, rising from 11% women to 18% women with the addition of Apple Vice President Jennifer Bailey. While the increase is promising, 18% women speakers just isn't good enough.

#HallOfShame | 14% Women Speakers at Closing the Gap

How can a conference that aims to offer a "world-class" array of speakers who are sharing "new perspectives" have just 14% women? How can they solve the issues facing our economy when half of the population is barely represented onstage?

#HallOfFame | 52% Women Speakers at #ONA15

The Online News Association 2015 Conference promises that "ONA15 speakers represent diversity, innovation and leadership across all aspects of digital journalism. They are committed to sharing best practices, inspiring insights and hard lessons won through their experiences."

#ONA15 has kept their promise so far with 52% women speakers! Out of 226 confirmed speakers, we're happy to see that 126 are women.

#HallOfShame | Round 2: TechCrunch Sinks To New Low

#HallofShame | Leadership for the Americas Awards Gala [UPDATE]

On November 17, 2015, the Inter-American Dialogue will celebrate the "tireless, steadfast, effective and ongoing service of the hemisphere's most influential leaders at the Leadership for the Americas Awards Gala."

Their annual gala will feature dinner, cocktails, and "over 500 distinguished citizens from the around the world." But it won't feature any women honorees. And who will hand out the awards to this all-male lineup of influential leaders? An all-male lineup of award presenters.

#HallOfShame | C&EN Virtual Symposium

C&EN Media Group is "delighted to present its second annual virtual symposium highlighting groundbreaking research in drug discovery, chemical synthesis, informatics and drug development."

What's not groundbreaking about this upcoming event? The gender ratio for their speakers. Out of 11 speakers at C&EN's Virtual Symposium: Advances in Drug Discovery and Development, only 2 are women.

#HallofShame | TechCrunch Disrupt SF

TechCrunch SF is an annual technology conference that claims to offer "iconic startup and thought leadership" and "TechCrunch writers and editors, special guest speakers, leading venture capitalists and fascinating entrepreneurs addressing the most important topics facing today's tech landscape."

Can you trust the thought leadership of a conference that will only have 28% women speakers onstage? Do you believe that they're able to address the most important topics facing tech, when they haven't addressed an obvious gender gap in their speaker lineup?

#HallOfFame | Man Booker Prize 2015 Long List

The prestigious Man Booker Prize recently released their long list for 2015. We're thrilled that this year's long list features 54% books by women! Out of 13 books, seven are by women authors.

#HallOfShame | Modern Library's Top 100 Novels and Top 100 Nonfiction

Does this sound modern to you?

Modern Library Board's 100 Best Novels: 9% are novels by women. (Edith Wharton appears twice. Because finding 9 women authors was just too much.)
Modern Library Board's Top 100 Best Nonfiction: 12% books by women.

The list criteria doesn't get much more generous than "Best"---there's no time limitations, no genre restrictions, and there are 100 slots to fill. So it seems unbelievable that out of 200 books in Modern Library's lauded "Top 100" lists, only 21 are by women.

#HallofShame | CAM Conferences

CAM Conferences' next event is "Meeting the Microbiome" on September 12, 2015. "This conference will look at the influence of the microbiome on zonulin, leaky gut, reactions to gluten and other proteins"...with a nearly all male panel.

Women make up just 9% of the speakers for this event. Out of 11 featured experts, only one is a woman.

#HallOfShame | Institute for New Economic Thinking

Gender diversity is a critical part of the cultivation of new and innovative ideas. How can you support new thinking when your leadership barely includes women? It's an important question, and one that we're posing to the Institute for New Economic Thinking since their Advisory Board is only 6% women.
