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 :)
DATE: Friday August 17th 2007 from 7pm
WHERE: The Eagle Pub (125 Gloucester Road) in the North Laine area of Brighton.

Sorting the women from the girls, this event brings together two important groups, the Brighton Girl Geeks and Women in Media . Their first soirée as one, these networks show the growing strength of an industry that is thought to be dominated by men. Think again misguided souls, the ladies have landed and will socialise, talk business and share ideas at this relaxed event.
