We're at SXSW 2007!If you were thinking of going to SXSW 2007 but needed some convincing, here's a great reason: several artists on Another Girl at Play and myself have put together a discussion panel that's been selected for the Interactive portion!We all own businesses {all different kinds} with different backgrounds and ways of working. And we're going to talk about all of the good (and bad) about being a female boss. You can find Jenny's, Emira's and Lauren's profiles here. We're so excited about this panel and hope we get to see you there! "Boss Lady" Panel Description Successful, creative and self-taught entrepreneurs (from graphic designers, to producers, to crafters) will discuss and offer advice on what it's really like to be the gal running the show. With experience running their own successful businesses on-line and off, each of these women has a wealth of information, advice and success stories to share. The panel will explore what makes business different from a female perspective, the particular challenges the panelists have faced, how to create/maintain a business with/without employees and how to achieve financial success – all without boas or pink markers. SPEAKERS: 1. Emira Mears and Lauren Bacon; Graphic Designers and authors of Boss Lady (scheduled for a Fall 2007 release) & BossLady.ca. Founding partners of successful Vancouver design firm Raised Eyebrow Web Studio and creators of the popular feminist webzine Soapboxgirls.com (a 2003 Bloggy Finalist for "Best Topical Weblog"). 2. Alex Beauchamp; New Media Entrepreneur and Travel Writer of the popular GirlatPlay.com (one of the first blogs dedicated to writing about starting your own business), GirlsGuidetoCityLife.com (a 2006 SXSW Finalist for "Best Blog") and AnotherGirlatPlay.com (a 2004 SXSW Finalist for "Best Female Website"). 3. Jenny Hart; Stitching Goddess, author of two books and the popular site SublimeStiching.com. Her work has appeared in celebrity homes, magazines and on TV. 4.
