Are You a Woman in Information Technology? Attend a Girl Geek Dinner

Looking for some real life contact in your “social networking” strategy? Girl Geek Dinners started in London, as a way for women in information technology and other technical fields to get together and network, share resources, and just have a good time. As one of the founders explains in this podcast, Girl Geek Dinners are usually about 90% female, the inverse of the typical IT demographic.

Since the original London meet up, the group has now spawned at least 19 local groups in 11 different countries on 4 continents. Most of the events are free, and many are sponsored by major technology companies. Check out a partial schedule of events taking place in the next few weeks:

Seattle – June 24th

Toronto – June 25th

San Francisco – June 26th

Brighton – June 23rd, lunch

London – June 25th
