* '''Ask women to speak at your event''' -- Need some ideas? A little networking can only help. Even if not all of your contacts result in a multitude of speaker sugestions, you're letting people know that you are planning to put on a diverse conference. Email a group like womeninfreesoftware@gnu.org or Debian women or #gnu-women (on freenode.net) or Women in GNOME, http://live.gnome.org/GnomeWomen. If you're looking for a woman to talk about Perl, ask someone within the Perl community to point you in the right direction. You can also look at some other conferences and see who they've had.

* '''Ask women to attend your event''' -- Technology events can be intimidating to an individual woman, person of color, or non-heterosexual present. Personally inviting someone tells them that as a conference organizer you can picture them at your event, and that they'll have at least one ally when they get there. So: go to other events, ping people on IRC, send a personalized email, and tell individuals in person that they are wanted at an event.

* If you are hoping to attract new users, be clear that they will be welcome and make sure you have tracks of interest to new users. If you are hoping to bring in educators, then make sure there are tracks of interest to educators, and so on.
