Wikipedia Day NYC 2015 is a celebration and mini-conference for the project's 14th birthday,* to be held on Sunday March 22, 2015, hosted at Barnard College starting at 10:00 am, and also supported by Wikimedia New York City and fellow Free Culture Alliance NYC partners.

There are various events, sessions, talks, etc. Nothing women oriented but I do see involvement by a new  NYC meetup group: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/AfroCrowd"

Talk page hasn't even been opened yet to comment on its goal: "to increase the number of people of African Descent who actively partake in the Wikimedia and free knowledge, culture and software movements."  I guess meetups targeted on certain groups are less controversial than task forces.
