This will be the first Girl Geek Dinner that has been arranged and organised by the same people as London Girl Geek Dinners. The event will take the same form as the London ones and is open to anyone at TechEd and ITForum 2006 as well as those local to Barcelona. The event is sponsored by Microsoft and is part of an initiative to get the females in technology together and get them communicating and creating their own communities.
The hope with this event is to have a regular event in Barcelona and to let the females in tech communicate. The international language of the evening will be English and the speakers will be speaking in English. (apologies to the none english speaking people... )
Girl Geek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_Geek): Someone who is female and has an interest in technology, particularly computing and new media. Not necessarily technically minded.
This event is being organised in conjunction to London Girl Geek Dinners who have two mailing lists, a low volume announcements list and a discussion list. We don't currently have one for the Barcelona event but do look out for key information on this event here and at Girly Geekdom (http://girlygeekdom.blogspot.com) which is the organisers girl tech blog site and in the mailing lists.
