This year at IBM Connect, I was selected to present a Spark talk.  Inspired by TED talks, the Nerd Girls host these 6-minute inspirational talks.  I spoke about…wait for it…Twitter!  Not just about Twitter, however, but how gave me the confidence to speak at conferences.

Additionally, the Nerd Girls have a channel on Vimeo for the Spark videos.  You can read about it here, or just go to straight to the channel here.

I was selected to do a “spark idea” at BLUG this year.  Kicked off at Lotusphere 2012, the Nerd Girls started the Spark Ideas talks.  Short TED-like talks, meant to inspire.  Although given at technical conferences, these talks are frequently have nothing to do with technology.

My talk was titled, “How a New House Made Me a New Woman”.  And here it is, if you’d like to watch:

There’s a really cool new session at Lotusphere this year. Femke Goedhart gives us the details over on her blog.  Here’s the gist of it…

Spark Ideas – Brought To You By Nerd Girls
Do you know how some stories can be really inspiring? Stories and ideas that you never heard or thought of before and that really hit you right in the heart? Ideas that spark…..

Can you tell such a story?

Then we are looking for you. We are proud to present the Sparks session. A Lotusphere session brought to you by Nerd Girls where up to 6 people will have a chance to share their awesome experience with the crowd in a short 5-6 min presentation.

Lotusphere is just a month and a half away!  I am sure there will be lots of exciting news to come in the next few weeks, but the Nerd Girls are kicking it off early.

Over on the Turtle Partnership blog, Gab announces the second annual Great Geek Challenge!

This was a LOT of fun last year, and I am guessing this year will be even better.  Head on over to Gab’s post and the challenge site and check it out.

It’s official, the Nerd Girls have a session at IamLUG.

Come meet other Nerd Girls for some lively conversation! Not a Nerd Girl already? We’ll share Twitter IDs, Skype names, and introduce you to our Linked In group and Twitter list.

It is during the second half of lunch on Monday. We’ve done panel discussions and BOFs in the past at other conferences, we’d like this to be more interactive. Let’s meet, mingle and connect.

AND, we will have a big Nerd Girl announcement to make, so make sure to be there!

As with all of the Nerd Girl events, men are welcome!
