We are currently in the planning phases of doing a Girl Geek Dinner with and majority sponsored by IT4C in June.  The proposed date is set as the 25th June.  There will not be a May event as I have too much on to arrange this at the moment however there are regular Girl Geek Coffee meetups in the city during the day and Geek Dinners have just announced an event with Moo.com so please do feel free to sign up and attend those as well!

We have one confirmed speaker for the June event and are looking for a couple of others.  Our first speaker will be talking about Web Accessibility in Web 2.0  if you think you are up for talking at this event then do let us know.  The venue capacity is 60 people so it’s a nice friendly reasonably small group.

We are also looking for speakers for out August 3 year Anniversary event which will be held at Google’s office.  If you are interested in speaking at that then please send over your speaker proposal.

The combined London Geek Dinner and London Girl Geek Dinner on 26 April was fun. The venue was perfect, just the right size for the attendees, so you could mingle and sit down at various tables and even sofas without being too cramped.

Here’s the video of the speech by Dr Sophie Kain on being a geek (with intro by Ian Forrester). The talk was very good, with some great Q&A and thoughtful discussion on geekdom and what it means to be a geek. As well as some comments on The Apprentice and Sir Alan, for you gossip / TV fans out there! Enjoy.

Free Mentoring via MentorSET

So recently it was brought to my attention that MentorSET have just recently launched their online mentoring system for women in the Science, Engineering and Technology industry. This is a great opportunity for anyone in the industry to link up with a mentor if they haven’t already. The program is currently open to anyone with a focus on females in Science, Engineering and Technology.

Please do take a look. “The MentorSET scheme is currently FREE to both Mentors and Mentees. Mentors’ expenses will be paid. For mentees, some expenses (travel etc) may be met by the scheme.” So there are no excuses not to join in.

Now I know that mentoring was one of the things that the Girl Geeks were interested in getting involved with so I’d be interested in hearing about any feedback on the MentorSet system to find out if it is something that works or doesn’t. I’m hoping it will be something that benefits everyone who uses it!

Joint London Girl Geek Dinner and Geek Dinner

2 Comments

This is a Special Geekdinner. Besides it being a joint event together with the Geek Dinners, it will be Ian Forrester’s (ograniser of Geek Dinners and Barcamp London) last London Geekdinner, as he is moving to Manchester. And if that wasn’t enough, we have a fantastic guest speaker: Dr. Sophie Kain.

Sophie Kain

Dr. Sophie Kain is a very interesting woman. She’s most known for being on the 3rd season of the UK Apprentice where she admitted to being a geek. Although Sophie didn’t win the position at Sir Alan Sugar’s side, she has setup the innovation company, Prior Kain Ltd and launched a web venture entitled Toast and Trash. Sophie is highly intelligent, bubbly and full of life. She is certainly someone you will want to share a couple of ideas with during a bottle of red wine.

When: Saturday, April 26, 2008, 6:30 PM – 11:30 PM

London Girl Geek Coffee 3

2 Comments
.!.

After a great GGC yesterday, I’m glad to announce that the next one will be the 24th of April. The venue from last time (Smiths of Smithfield) was sadly not suitable for us; it’s too much of a pub/restaurant than an actual coffee place. Thanks to LJ though, I’ve discovered a perfect little gem for our next coffee: Ray’s Jazz Cafe in the Foyles at Charing Cross.

The last event was a bit rushed and I realized I haven’t even explained the reason behind Girl Geek Coffees. The idea is to have a more regular meetup besides the Dinners where girl geeks can come and socialize (sorry guys, it’s girls only). I was thinking of maybe holding the next one in the weekend, giving more people the chance to come along. Further, if the coffees turns out to be popular, it could always turn into a weekly event. What do you all think? Please leave comments behind and tell me how we can make this great!

London Girl Geek Coffee 2

It’s a bit last minute, but the second Girl Geek Coffee will be this Thursday. We’re going to try out a new venue and I’m hoping it’s a bit more suitable than the previous one. It’s the Smiths of Smithfield near Farringdon tube: I haven’t tried it out yet (so fingers crossed), but I’ve heard a lot of positive things about it.

When: Thursday, April 10, 2008, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
