We can now announce our two amazing (!) speakers for May. They will be Justine Cassell director of the Center for Technology & Social Behavior, and a full professor in the departments of Communication Studies and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at Northwestern University.

We feel we have a real coup with Justine as received the Anita Borg “Women of Vision”Leadership award in 2008. To give you an idea of just how awesome that is… there are only three Anita Borg awards each year — one for innovation, one for social impact, and one for leadership. They are extremely prestigious and winners include high profile peeps like Kristina M. Johnson the Under Secretary for Energy, US Department of Energy. (WOW!)

If that wasn’t enough we have also hooked the fabulous Eileen Brown, CEO of Amastra; a company which helps you achieve your aspirations using offline and online social methods. Eileen has a amazing career record and is a keen advocate of women in technology currently Chairing the Intellect Women in Technology strategic group.

We will have more news about our Aberdeen event soon. In the meantime have a look at the section for “Our Speakers” on our website.
