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.
