The Women's Luncheon on Saturday was something I was very much looking forward to, but it fell short of my expectations. I was enjoying bonding with the women at my table, asking the speakers about their presentations and hoping to form some more solid relationships with veteran and new Wikipedians alike. Being required to sit back quietly while 125+ women each stood up to introduce themselves felt like a waste of an opportunity to build a stronger female editing community. Knowing that the women are passionate about sharing was good, but wouldn't have been more to the purpose to encourage networking so all the women in attendance would be more inclined to stay active and recruit knowing there was a pool of support they could personally draw upon?

I personally liked the intros. Perhaps suggest a common topic or two people can discuss at tables?
Or have a separate meetups - a couple at different times, perhaps with different themes. That might answer her concerns ?
Note that in the feedback section two of us mentioned that annoucements of meetups needed to be better.
