Girl Geek Dinners have been around for a few years now. They were originally started in London by Sarah Blow, and have been gradually spreading all around the world. Last year the Sydney dinners arrived, followed closely by the Brisbane group.
And so it has fallen to me to get Girl Geek Dinners up and running in Canberra. Right now, all I'm looking for is some kind of idea of how many people might be interested in something of this nature. Feel free to post in the comments and let me know what you think, what you like, who you want hear speak, and anything else that comes to mind.
I would also be interested in hearing from anyone who can help in some way (however small) with the organisation of the event, or who might know how to go about arranging some kind of sponsorship (of any variety).
In the meantime, hang on for the ride!

Sorry, not a girl, but interested in the idea.
Mixed gender geek dinners are a fine idea.
Hi Mike,
You haven't read the small print Guys are invited to girl geek dinner so long as they attend with a Girl Geek :) Each Girl Geek has only one invite.

Sarah beat me to it! Guys most certainly are invited, you just need a girl geek friend to bring you along. I'll be posting more about the finer details shortly, so please keep checking back.

Interesting... Thanks Loquacity. Put me on the list.
Definitely interested - I've always been hoping that we'll get geek girls up and running in Canberra...and it's happening.
I'm in!
I'd love to attend, if someone will invite me :-)
Cath - thanks for stopping by! You're definitely in.
Ruth - It is most certainly happening - stay posted.
