London Girl Geeks’ Facebook Invasion

A huge thank you to Facebook London for hosting us on Monday 10th September.  Philip Su, who’s worked with San Francisco Girl Geeks, opened the evening and Sonia Flynn, Srinath Anantharaju and Kuan Hon inspired us and tickled our curiosity with presentations on the human impact of Facebook, security measures and EU cookies law.

For those of you who weren’t able to join us, the event space was fabulous – enjoying presentations from a deck chair was certainly a new and welcome experience!  The pizza was yummy, there was plenty of drink and the post-presentation networking fuelled lots of interesting conversations.

We’re looking forward to running future events with Facebook London – if you’re not a member of the London Girl Geeks Dinners Google Group, join up to receive first notice of events and tickets.

So, thank you all for coming – we hope you had a wonderful time.

Thank you Facebook London for being fantastic hosts!

Site Abuse Detection and EU Cookies Law Event Hosted by Facebook

We’re very excited at London Girl Geek Dinners as Facebook have offered to host an event for us on Monday 10th September.

Director of Online Operations, Sonia Flynn, will open the evening with stories about Facebook’s impact on people’s lives.

One of Facebook’s key security engineers,  Srinath Anantharaju, will present a tech talk on how Facebook detects site abuse using custom tools and strategies.

Finally, Kuan Hon, PhD Candidate and Cloud Legal Project Consultant, will take us through EU cookies law.

As if that’s not enough, Facebook are kindly providing drinks and pizza as well as their lovely facilities.  It should be a great evening!

 

Tickets are already sold out for this event but we are already talking about running another event with Facebook again in the very near future.  To make sure you’re one of the first to know what the event will be about and when tickets are released, make sure you’re signed up to the London Girl Geeks Google Group.
