Social media has revolutionized the way tech savvy arts and cultural organizations communicate. Their Facebook page features images, events, videos, polls, a map and even their gift shop.

I even organize conferences and events like the Women Who Tech TeleSummit that have a progressive slant. So, when I survey the mainstream tech and social media conference circuit and see on average that only a dismal 10% to 20% of panel presenters are women, it shocks me. The consultants I work with are progressive.
