Well with Women in Technology sponsoring our 5th London Girl Geek Dinner and Helen Duguid speaking, the event seems to have mushroomed out and hit London by storm! So far we have 110 people signed up to the event and almost all of them are females. It's amazing that so many women are in IT and are meeting up and chatting about life, technology and all things geeky!
It does make me wonder how big Girly Geek Dinners will get. Just recently I have been in touch with someone in Nottingham who asked if they can do a Nottingham Girl Geek Dinner... Go for it!!! Look out for the details of that event here.
I do wonder if schools will start to do this sort of thing for getting younger females interested in technology. Maybe invite an industry leader to a school and get them to talk about their experiences etc. I think it would be great to see more women going into the sciences and technical subjects at school and university.
