About Brighton Girl Geeks

Brighton Girl Geeks is a community run by local girl geeks. The idea originated from the London version - there are now events worldwide. After 2 years of existence, the Brighton version is evolving. We all have a varying degree of interest in technology, some at a basic level all the way up to uber geeks. Our events create a social opportunity to relax and have a bit of fun.
