The Girl Geek Dinners were founded on the 16th August 2005 as a result of one girl geek who got annoyed and frustrated about being one of the only females attending technical events. She was tired of being assumed to be marketing, tired of constantly having to prove herself and decided that she just wanted a change and to be treated just the same as any other geek out there, gender and age aside. After all to be geeky is to be intelligent, have passion for a subject and to know that subject in depth. It’s not at all about being better than others, or about gender, race, religion or anything else. Those things just detract from the real fun stuff, the technology, the innovation and the spread of new ideas.

London Girl Geek Dinners was the very first Girl Geek Dinner group to start out. There are now groups all over the world. The events have gone from strength to strength with diverse members and some amazing sponsors who have provided great venues and fantastic support! The focus of the events is about uniting, supporting, learning and having fun as a female in the technology industry.

All our events are run as not for profit and any funds left over are ploughed back into the group to provide the website, labels etc and sponsorship covers the cost of food and drinks as well as the venue hire where applicable.

    WOW- 2011 has flown by in record speed. 2011 has been a truly fantastic year of incredible geeky dinners. Let's plan some time to review the highlights from 2011 and brainstorm about ideas for 2012. (Date is negotiable and location is debatable.) Also, we've got a tentative meetup in November, check out GGD Social Beverage Time http://... Learn more
