The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 move
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.
