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.
We’re going to meet outside the M-Shed to walk a section of the Harbourside Trail, taking in some of Bristol’s engineering heritage and hopefully ending up in a pub afterwards. If the weather is torrential then we will skip out the trail and go straight to the pub.

Friday, August 03, 2012Bath’s creative digital sector is one of the city’s fastest growing industries.
And now a female networking
group has been launched to give women a helping hand in what is often seen as a male-dominated working environment.
We’re turning 7 on August 16 and the lovely folks at Mozilla have given us the use of their space for the evening. YAY MOZILLA!
We’ve decided that this year instead of a raffle (because I asked and people answered) that we will do a first past the post method with tickets released in 3 waves. We will be releasing the tickets on Thursday August 2nd at 2pm, Saturday August 4th at 12 noon and on Tuesday August 7th at 10am. This will hopefully mean everyone knows well in advance if they got a ticket and we will have a waiting list for those who didn’t get a ticket.
For free tickets join the London Girl Geek Google Group!
THANK YOU to the lovely Auto Trader who have already donated some lovely stuff for us. Also to Uber who are donating for the raffle and the amazing Thoughtworks may be helping too! I’m working on a sponsor for things like a cake and whatnot too so stay tuned!
There will be a raffle! As in previous years I’ll also work on getting some excellent stuff for the raffle so please do help support our efforts and buy a ticket (or 5) on the night! If you use one of the “donation tickets” you’ll get free raffle tickets as well 😉
Thanks so much everyone and thank you to Mozilla & Auto Trader & Uber & Thoughtworks – WE LOVE YOU!
Would you like some love? We’re always looking for sponsors! You will get your product and company and jobs out in front of over 3,000 London-based geeky women. We can give you some details on what you’ll get if you get in touch at [email protected]

OK we’re planning our next event for August, I was going to create a poll but very short on time so hopefully we can discuss it here / on email / Facebook / via twitter and work something out. We want to do a more casual event – like a picnic and those with children can bring them along too. KP had some ideas for games and things and suggested Blaise Castle as a venue – what would everyone prefer – an evening or a weekend? I suggest either Thursday 23rd or Saturday 18th – any other venue suggestions? All comments and suggestions welcome and hopefully we can work something out between us 🙂
We will also be discussing this on the Facebook group so if you haven’t joined up yet come along and let us know what you think www.facebook.com/groups/231632375942/
We’re now up and running on the magic three Social Networks.
