Series of informal meetups for women in the technology industry
Girl Geek Dinners is an informal organisation that promotes women in the information technology industry,[1] with 64 established chapters in 23 countries.[2] The organisation was founded in London, United Kingdom, by software engineer Sarah Lamb (née Blow), who felt women were under-represented at information technology events after attending a geek dinner in 2005.[3]
Chapters organise local events featuring both female and male speakers with mostly female attendees. Events are different from geek dinners in that men can only attend as invited guests of women, ensuring that women will never be outnumbered by men at events.
A typical event is an informal dinner, followed by one or more presentations by featured speakers.
