ICTD - Having Global Impact as a Technical Woman

So included in the swag is a "squeezable" flashlight - I'm going to start a collection. If you don't want yours, Revi or I would be happy to take it to Africa!

I’ve just been going over the sessions, and it’s totally action packed. I've listed in this post the panels and talks I'm hoping to attend.
