Hull Girl Geek Dinner - 11th March 2010

We are pleased to announce the first of this year’s series of Hull Girl Geek Dinners that we will be supporting, starting on Thursday 11th March. Hull Girl Geeks is about bringing together women who like or work within science and technology, which is pretty much everyone these days. This is the FIRST meeting whereby local business women (and men) and university students are getting together. It will be hosted at Hull’s brilliant HIVE (Hull Immersive Visualization Environment) venue where you will don your 3D glasses for a fantastic presentation.

Speakers for the evening will be Emma McGrattan and Emma Smith-Howe. Emma McGrattan is the senior vice president for Engineering at Ingres. A leading authority in DBMS technologies, Ms McGrattan has been instrumental in the ongoing success of the Ingres product line. She will talk about women in science and the challenges that they face. Emma Smith-Howe will tell us more about HIVE and provide a demonstration of this fantastic 3D facility that all participants will have an opportunity to experience.The evening will be informal, friendly and chilled. For just £10, you can enjoy some food, drinks and the chance to network. There are only 20 places available for the event so you’ll need to be quick!
