Girl Geek Dinner

Nottingham Girl Geek Dinners are an opportunity for like-minded women to talk about technology over food and drinks. The events are aimed at providing a welcoming atmosphere and a platform for learning in an informal environment. They are usually held in local bars or restaurants, with a speaker who talks for a short while on a chosen subject for the evening.

Rules of attendance

Women are welcome to attend however if you are male and wish to attend this event you must bring a female with you or be brought by a female. NO FEMALE, NO ENTRY!!!! Sorry Guys! (We will keep the numbers balanced!)

Why: The speaker for this evening is Kate Bolin who is a Nottingham based web designer, likes web standards and accessibility but is happiest when up to her elbows in CSS. She is also a prolific knitter. You can find out more about Kate on her entertaining blog: http://www.katemonkey.co.uk/.

Every year the website that is a regular stomping groud for all proffesional web designers; A List Apart, runs a web survey to look at the current industry around the globe. Kate will be looking at the results from the most recent A List Apart Web Workers survey, to examine what it tells us about being a woman working in web design. Leave your preconceptions at the door as we have look at the industries and sectors that offer support for women in IT. Then expect a lively conversation afterwards.
