Hello all! I’m Kate, an Account Managerfrom Zabisco,a User Centred Design Agency in Nottingham.

Elsa’s working away from Nottingham these days, and organising theevents singlehandedly was tough – hopefully with my help and her expertise, wecan get the events back up and running so we can get together to learn, networkand socialise!

We’re thinking of hosting an event inthe next couple of months and taking things from there, so it would be great tohear from you guys about who’s interested, what you’re looking for from theevents and any ideas for venues or speakers! Get in touch or add a comment below!

April Reading Girl Geek Dinner – and the Team

We are setting up regular Reading Girl Geek Dinners for this year: we are holding them on the THIRD Thursday of each month after this session. We are always interested in your opinion, what you would like to hear about and, of course, if you wish to sponsor the event.

We are also delighted to announce that Natasha O’Brien has joined the Reading GGD team.

Our next event is Thursday 1st April (no joke!) and it is sponsored by Microsoft UK. We will be going back to La Tasca in central Reading.

The event will commence at 6.30pm; a lovely tapas dinner will follow from 7pm and we will have some time for networking during and after the meal.

The theme of the evening is “Dedicated to Ada Lovelace”. We will have a very interesting and entertaining speaker: Rachel Cooper, from Graphico – who will be talking about how she started in IT and about the amazing figure of Ada Lovelace.

Full Details:

• Date & Time: Thursday, 1st April, 6:30pm for a 7pm start
• End Time: Late
  
• Venue: La Tasca, Reading
• Hosted by: Girl Geek Dinners
• Food & Drink: Spanish tapas, buy your own drinks
  
• Subject for the evening: Dedicated to Ada Lovelace
  
• Format: Reception, Dinner, Conversation
  
• Capacity: 40 people
  
• Attendees: As ever, boy geeks are welcome to attend if invited by a girl geek although on this occasion we do stress that there are few and limited spaces so more boy geeks = less girl geeks.

Posters – print one out and put it up!

Thanks to everyone who came to our first event – we had a lot of fun and we hope you did too!

We’re now busy planning our next event – but in the meantime if you want to publicise Girl Geek Dinners in your college or workplace and gain some support then we’ve made these posters for you to print out and stick up advertising the Bristol Group.

Our sponsors, Symantec, donated some cool hoodies, that were quite successful, judging by the number of us who took them and were wearing them (some even on the night).
