re: 5.5 Hispanic female here, but wow there were really only about 10 other females in the crowd. At lunch, we thought it was funny. By the reception, we were scratching our heads.
Why do you think women don't attend?

I think it's a missed opportunity, first of all. On "why", I truly don't know. I guess that the organizers could do a better job in trying to involve "diverse" groups of people, but I would never blame them for having too many guys and just a few ladies attend.
Some said it was probably intimidating to be amongst an all male group. But the only way that will change is if we (females) show up!
