One of the ironies of a conference dedicated to all things digital and virtual is that the best ways to connect with people are surprisingly old-school.

The vice-president of an advertising agency is a bit of executive fungus that forms on a desk that has been exposed to conference.

You go to a technology conference or an engineering conference, there are very few women there. At the same time it's a blessing in the fact that you do get noticed. People tend to remember you as the only woman in the room 'who said that', or the only woman in the room who was an engineer.

Don't wallow in brainstorming. Time spent fiddling with a business plan or filling up whiteboards with ideas is time that you could spend actually launching your business and seeing if the idea floats.
