It's weird that you'd sell your brand and not include social media handles. Mismanaged right to the bitter end, I guess.

You go first. Maybe @PASSDataSummit can help.

@grrl_geek As someone who works in #dataviz and leads a professional org for viz folks, I'd never heard of either of these conferences before seeing your post. We have an annual conference and it takes deliberate efforts to recruit and encourage speakers from under-represented groups.

@SQLRockstar @AMtwo New phone who dis?

@AMtwo I’m especially amused by this clause considering RG held an event which directly competed with Summit precons in the past.

I would get the most out of Summit if you stopped just having the same white men speaking year after year. The boys club is tiring. Maybe try selecting more diverse speakers. The PASS playbook is just a recipe for bankruptcy.

Keeping a speaker, sponsor, or attendee of your event secret because you know it will outrage people and cause them to not buy tickets - is there a word for that?

It doesn't instill great confidence in a data organization when you can't do a mail merge. I wonder how badly @PASSDataSummit misdirected those emails. Did they just get mixed up among accepted speakers? Or did speakers get acceptances when they shouldn't have?

One of these @PASSDataSummit precons is titled "Race + Gender Equity Toolkit" Seems like conference organizers should ask for a sneak peak of that toolkit. It's sorely needed.

Looking at the @PASSDataSummit precons and really disappointed to see that out of 14 precons, there are 13 men presenting, and only 3 women. 14 precons, 16 white speakers, 0 racial diversity. I'd expect that from PASS, but disappointed in @redgate. passdatacommunitysummit.com/sessions/pre-c…

@HengeWitch PASS 2020?
