Here’s a poster for our next event, please print one out and stick it up 🙂

Our next Girl Geek Event is going to be something a little bit different. We will be teaming up with Wikimedia UK for a Girl Geeks vs Wikimeet event, aimed at encouraging more women to edit Wikipedia. This event will be held at Bristol University on 18th August from 7pm.

We will be serving a free buffet and cake sponsored by Wikimedia and the guest speaker will be Fiona Apps- a female Wikipedian who will give us the inside scoop on what it’s like to be a Wikipedian. Please bring your laptops as we aim to have some hands-on editing sessions taking place during the event.

For more details, and to register for this event, please go to our next dinner page.

We are currently planning an exciting event in collaboration with Wikipedia on the 18th August – Girl Geeks vs Wikimeet.

This will be a Girl Geek Dinner merged with a ‘Wikimeet’ including  a talk from an inspiring female Wikipedian. The theme will be ‘Encouraging more women to edit Wikipedia’ as currently only 13-14% of Wikipedia editors are female. We are hoping to have a hands-on editing session alongside the traditional elements of our usual Girl Geek Event.

Venue and times to be confirmed. IF you would like to help us organise this event then please get in touch.
