Brighton Girl Geeks
The Brighton Girl Geeks are a community focused on women with an interest in technology.
We usually have informal gatherings over dinner and a presentation. Though sometimes also meet up for lunches, coffees and just plain socials.
The main rule is that guys are welcome as long as they are invited by a girl :)

From the iPhone in your pocket able to tell you the location of nearest cash machine, to the amount you pay for house insurance to protect against flooding; spatial information affects almost every aspect of our lives. Mariam Crichton will talk about GIS and demonstrate FIND, a pioneering web mapping technology company that she is Development Director of. She will cover what the geospatial industry is, how it is used and developed over the years. Her demonstration will show the current power of professional mapping, reflecting how the use of spatial data impacts nearly every aspect of society, from governance and planning to the environment.
