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. (more…)

We had a two great speakers for last night™s Leeds Girl Geek Dinner at The Loft, which had been planned as part of the Leeds Web Festival LSx09. The weather wasn™t great for the barbecue we had ordered but that didn™t seem to matter too much. For this event fifty guests had bought tickets, again, we had a good cross-section of the Leeds digital and creative scene. It was good to welcome Melissa Sheriff from AQL, and Janine Jacques. We also had some new graduates who came along courtesy of tickets sponsored by Digital 2020 - thanks to Teresa Colley, Tara Hainsworth, Malhia Mahmood and Michelle Lee for coming along, hope you can come to the next one and we wish you the best of luck as you start your exciting adventure into the sector!
