Yet again we shall meet for lunch and good conversation.
Derbycon #LadiesLunchCon will be on the 26th of September at 11am in the food court. You can get there by going to the second floor using the escalators, making a right, and heading straight back through the doors and over the bridge to the next building over. Come when you can, stay as long as you can. eat what makes sense for you. :) We're testing out good ol' 2600 style to give flexibility for those who have talks to get to.
Skydogcon #Ladieslunchcon will occur on October 24th over lunch break. Location is pending.
Please reach out to @dystonica and @staceybanks if you've got questions or just want to know someone when you get there. We are a very friendly bunch.

Shmoocon #LadiesLunchCon
Hi Ladies,
It's that time again - for us to enjoy tasty lunch and fantastic conversation.
This Shmoo, we're meeting in the hotel restaurant at 1pm (beginning of lunch break.)
Split checks, etc.
All who identify as ladies are warmly invited to attend; we graciously ask our gentlemen friends to skip this one; ladies lunch is ladies lunch.
Please RSVP via Meetup so that we've got good headcount -but, if you can't, we still want you to join us, just please try and send a tweet to @dystonica or @staceybanks so that we can plan for you.

LadiesLunchCon - Begins!
#Ladieslunchcon is - an open invite, completely informal, group of ladies, who lunch. All who identify as Ladies are warmly welcomed!
#LadiesLunchCon exists to create a comfortable environment for ladies to share -- free from 'cattiness' and 'cliques', both overlying traits of "horizontal hostility", a control that prevent us from unifying - as a tightly knitted peer group.
Once we address related traits embedded in our own subliminal attitudes, we are able to quickly identify and nix this behavior from existing in ourselves and others around us. As a result, our friendships with others become natural, and more abundant. In this sense, for the ladies of Information Security, #LadiesLunchcon is just the beginning.
#LadiesLunchCon was instigated at a NovaHackers meeting, when a group of NoVA Hackers ladies (Stacey Banks, and Dystonica) decided to get together for lunch at this past derbycon. We then decided to make it open invite, tweet it out (look for #ladieslunchcon) and to invite other lady attendees. From the original group of 4, we ended up with a group of 13 amazing ladies. Everyone had a good time, and one of the things that came out of it was that the ladies who attended knew more people, had a better time at the event, made friendships/business contacts have outlasted the event, and had conversations about everything from science and tech to our pets, significant others, and personal interests.
We did a second #ladieslunchcon at BsidesDC - with 10 attendees. Mimosas were consumed, conversations were had, friendships were made - we knew it was something worth keeping going. #ladieslunchcon did similarly well at @SkydogCon - with enough demand, that now we're bringing it as a recurring local NoVA event. :)
The known upcoming #ladieslunchcons are at Shmoocon (January 17-19, @dystonic, @staceybanks, ), BsidesLV (dates tbd), and Defcon (dates tbd).
I look forward to meeting all of you at the next #ladieslunchcon
