There are more details and write up’s from this event that can be found in the London Girl Geek Dinner 3 Year Anniversary Round Up
Wow what can I say… it’s been an amazing three years… I still can’t believe that they have gone so fast and how the events have grown over the years. Looking back at that very first Girl Geek Dinner I don’t think I could ever have imagined that one little idea ending up as far reaching and as well recieved as it has been. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next. Its all one very big adventure and I’m looking forward to seeing what unfolds in the next few years!
So now that I’ve got over being all sentimental about it… lets get down to the details of what happened at the 3 year anniversary which we were fortunate enough to hold at the Google offices. First of all we had a great dinner courtesy of the Google’s hospitality and catering facilities. They do wonderful food and were great hosts for this event.
We kicked off the evening with a presentation from Google’s very own Karen Groenink who spoke on UI design, the thoughs behind some of the design work that went into the YouTube mobile UI and some of the challenges of working with mobile devices.
After this we went and moved onto Technology and Schools with Drew Buddie who is a teacher at a London School. He spoke about the technologies that schools use, the challenges that they face and some of the solutions that they have come up with to get children involved with technology.
And finally we had the discussion on Work Life balance hosted by Dr Al James who has been researching this subject in depth. The session was well structured, focusing on key aspects of work life balance and bringing forward suggestions to problems when balancing work and home life.
The video from all the sessions will follow in due course, however in the meantime I’ve placed some of the slides onto slideshare for you to browse. We will post the video up as soon as it’s been edited and uploaded!

Girl Geek Dinners have been going now for almost three years! (Officially that would be 3 years on the 16th August 2008 but due to venue availability we are celebrating on the 28th instead!) So we had a long think about the perfect place for a reasonably large girl geek birthday/ anniversary party and came to the conclusion that Google are great hosts with the perfect space, so we asked them if they would like to join us in our celebration! Lucky for us they said yes!!!
We thought it was a good chance to get together, share some wine, food and conversation!
It should be a fun event and one that I hope you will all enjoy. There is only one release of tickets for this event. After which a reserves list will be created. Tickets will be strictly on a first come first served basis. Sign up early to avoid disappointment. We will also do our best to live stream the event via UStream.tv to here and the girlgeekdinners.com site.
