Does diversity of gender/race equate directly to diversity of content? Painting a conference as uninspiring solely based on what percentage of the panel are $demographic seems wrong. Are you suggesting that white males somehow all produce the same content?

Bias favoring white males creates a culture of entitlement. Ever went to these mediocre conferences with mediocre talks? What unimaginative blokes organize them?

Then take one considered magically good, like Strange Loop. Their excellence translations into excellent diversity work too: (http://bridgetconsulting.com/?p=131)
