Girl Geek Dinner Kick-off: Crowdsourcing GGD Ottawa – July 6
Posted in Events on 06/23/2009 08:10 pm by Kelly RuskSo we’ve been trying to launch Girl Geek Dinner in Ottawa for a few months now (actually Mel Gallant and Veronica Giggey have been thinking about it even longer!) and it’s been decided it’s *officially* launching in September. If you haven’t heard, Girl Geek Dinners was started in London, England by Sarah Blow as an event for geeky girls everywhere to get together, mix and mingle, learn something new and eat some great food.
However, before we kick things off, we want your help–we want to make sure that Girl Geek Dinner Ottawa is a) well attended, b) adding value to your life and c) tons of fun! So we’re inviting all geeky girls in Ottawa to our pre-launch kick-off party on Monday, July 6. It’s free to attend, but we ask you to please register in advance so we can give the venue accurate numbers.
Come, meet and greet, have some food and drinks and most importantly tell us what YOU want to see at Girl Geek Dinners. We’d love your feedback on everything from venues, speakers, time, day of the week–just let us know whatever you want and we’ll do our best to accommodate and make it the best geeky girl event in Ottawa!
Hope to see you there! Remember, Monday, July 6, 7 p.m. at the Fox and the Feather pub on Elgin Street. Don’t forget to register!
Ottawa Girl Geek Dinners are an offshoot of the London Girl Geek Dinners, started by Sarah Blow. The goal of these get-togethers is to make technology accessible and interesting to all age groups and all people, particularly women.
