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.

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.

Vote for an Another Girl at Play SXSW Panel!
Love the site, its ideas and the women? What if you could listen to a panel of us talking and interact in person instead of just on a site? Then please consider voting for a panel called, "Boss Lady" for SXSW 2007. Featuring 5 of the Another Girl at Play Artists and based on the wonderful site/book Boss Lady, our panel is aimed to help women succeed in business, whether its graphic design, crafting, production or the corporate world.As Emira of Boss Lady writes:
We are excited to announce that we've proposed a panel discussion at SXSW (South by Southwest) 2007. Simply titled "Boss Lady", it will cover what makes business different from a female perspective; the particular challenges the panelists have faced; how to create and maintain a business with or without employees; and how to achieve financial success - all without boas or pink markers. Our proposed panelists include:
- Emira & Lauren who run Boss Lady, a design studio and also used to run Soap Box Girls
- Alex Beauchamp, of GirlatPlay.com and A Girl's Guide to City Life;
- Jenny Hart, Stitching Goddess, author of two books and the popular site Sublime Stitching;
- Vickie Howell, author of three knitting books, host of the television show, Knitty Gritty, and founder of the Austin Craft Mafia.
We hope you'll vote for us - you can find our panel filed under "business / funding / entrepreneurial" and "work / career". (Tip: it's easier to find in the latter category since there are fewer entries there.)
SXSW is using a voting process to enable attendees (potential and confirmed) to select the panels in which they're most interested. If you're thinking of heading to Austin for the big event (even if it's a long shot... participating in the voting process doesn't mean you're expected to attend), we hope you'll cast a vote in our direction (do a search for "Boss Lady" or look under the category of "business / funding / entrepreneurial).
Voting closes Friday, October 13.
