Wooster Collective Threatens Boycott Of Creative Conference

By Piers Fawkes on October 9, 2006

An open letter from the publishers of Wooster Collective and co-signed by their friends and authors criticizes the complete lack of women participating in the Tokion Creativity Now conference. The letter says:

By not including a single female voice as a participant in this year’s Tokion Creativity Now Conference, we believe that a message of inequality and sexism will be inherently delivered to the attendees of this years conference.

Because of this, we urge all speakers and attendees to withhold their participation at this weekend’s Creativity Now Conference until and unless Tokion and the organizers of the Creativity Now Conference ensure that woman are included on the speakers list.

Sounds reasonable, no?
