We're trying to separate ourselves from that 'underbelly of Comdex' idea," she says. "We haven't had more women at the show because there hasn't been enough for them to do here. We're addressing that this year."Last Monday's women-friendly events included an opening keynote address by Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and a cocktail reception, awards ceremony and panel discussion, co-sponsored by Comdex and GirlGeeks. While 28 percent of IT workers are women, only about 40,000 women attended this year's Comdex — about 20 percent of the total. The goal is to increase that number so it at least reflects the industry's gender mix. "We're providing role models, and opportunities for women to get together onsite," Miller says. "We're optimistic that women will start to be more of a discreet community here, which will help draw more women to Comdex."
