Reader Molly Smith let us know about an event happening in NYC on Saturday, May 10th, the Women’s Synth Workshop:
Women’s Synth Workshop is the first event in a continuing series focused on inspiring women to learn about the technical aspects and ideas behind modular synthesis and experimental electronic music.
Led by various prominent women in the field, including Alice Cohen, Rose Kallal, Delia Gonzalez, Lori Napoleon, Abby Echiverri, Liz Wendelbo, and Xeno and Oaklander, the event will feature daytime discussions, lectures, and interactive demonstrations before transitioning to performances. Floor model synthesizers will be provided by the Williamsburg synth shop Control.
All visitors are welcome, regardless of gender.

Nice! Like to see a world tour, or series that takes it to different cities in the world.
I hope we’ll get to see photos and video from the workshop. What a great idea for an event.
Brilliant idea! And I second Garak’s thought on seeing it become and international thing, perhaps under Women In Technology?
Is there an email list to receive info in case there’s going to be a series of synthetic events held?
Sorry auto correct changed synth to synthetic.
