Geeky Gadgets & Gizmos – a Christmas Event
icon1 | icon2 Event | icon4 11 11th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

London Girl Geek Dinners and the British Computer Society (North London Branch) have joined forces to bring a wonderful Christmas event to you all.  The “Geeky Gadgets & Gizmos” event is a fun pre-Christmas party where 120 people gather to watch some of us show off their favourite gadgets, judged by a panel of geeky gadgety experts.

You don’t have to present your favourite gadget – you can just come and enjoy watching others present and of course the festive season cheer.  With mince pies galore, friends, fun, wine, juice and geeky gadgets, it’s sure to be a fantastically fun event!

To join up for this brilliant evening, simply visit: http://bcsnlbdec09-lggd.eventbrite.com/

This is a special LGGD & BCS combined event so let’s show our support by grabbing a ticket quickly and visiting one of the homes of geekyness – The British Computer Society.

If you’re curious about being a member, they are always happy to chat membership so just find a BCS member on the night or ask me – Judith Lewis – and I’ll help you find some information.

See you there!

The Bank of England Wants YOU!
icon1 | icon2 Uncategorized | icon4 10 10th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

Ladies – finished (or about to finish) Uni but not entirely sure what to do next?  Looking to radically change your career? Well, the Bank of England could be looking for you!

Yes, that’s right, the Bank of England is looking to fill some graduate level roles and there’s no need for a degree in finance or computing to join their IT department; just a desire to work in IT and learn more.  The Bank values their female employees, who tend to stay for longer in its IT area and so it wishes to get the message out to all ’Girl Geeks’ out there that they are hiring.

The Bank of England is so generous that they will be offering some insight and advice valuable for anyone applying anywhere, so even if you’re not ready right now or unsure of the IT roles within the Bankyou should pop along for the skills session which will help immensely at any job interview.

Remember that this is for *ANYONE* – not just those with a degree in IT or finance (however a background in maths, natural sciences or computing  is helpful!). Last year they recruited someone with a degree in philosophy so please do come along to see what it’s all about.

Here are the vital stats – if you have a genuine interest in working in IT and are predicted or have achieved a minimum of a 2:1 for your degree, just send an email to networkingevent@bankofengland.co.uk and attach your CV.  My degree is in psychology and I work in a heavily technical discipline and so could you – at the Bank of England!

Date: Thursday 29 October 2009
Time: 4pm – 6.30pm
Location: Bank of England
Event Title: Women’s Networking Event
Outline:
4pm – 5.30pm: Presentation and Q&A by the IT department and then a skills session (TBC but related to applying to/working for the Bank of England)
5.30pm – 6.30pm: Keynote speech from Sarah Breeden, Head of Risk Management followed by drinks and nibbles with members of the Bank’s Women’s Network

House of Sand and Fog the movie

Come on ladies – it’s worth the opportunity to join one of the country’s most prestigious institutions in their IT department without needing a background in It – just a genuine interest in it.  See you there!!

The next event will likely be first week of November or late October.

Over The Air – Suggest a Session!
icon1 | icon2 Event | icon4 08 20th, 2009| icon3Comments Off
.!.

After a number of false starts, we are a “go” for Over the Air 2009 – the sequel to last year’s hugely well-received Over the Air mobile developer event. We will be holding the event over the 25th and 26th of September (Friday and Saturday). Once again, we will be featuring a number of sessions on different technology / development (and now art / design) topics, with a focus on mobile. Once again, the event will be free for attendees and we expect between 300 and 400 attendees over the 2 days. Once again, people will be working overnight on mobile prototypes and hacks and once again there will be an awards ceremony on the second day to reward the most creative and exciting work.

I am working on putting together the schedule right now and on this I need your help. If you would like to run a session at Over the Air, please take moment to fill in our session suggestion form (http://bit.ly/ota2009session). The sessions will be 55 minutes in length and while the focus of the event is on mobile development, we are also accepting sessions on user experience and design and we are putting together some sessions on mobile art including (hopefully) a mobile film festival.

If you’re not in London and you don’t think you can make it over but you know someone who might be interested in running a session, please feel free to pass this on to them (or indeed to blog / tweet about it). I am also trying to drive awareness of the event and since this is a “grass roots” event, we have a very limited marketing budget so any help getting the word out would be greatly appreciated.

For more information on the event, visit http://overtheair.org

We have just finalised all the details for this year’s anniversary Girl Geek Dinner.  Since we know that there will be way more demand for this event than we could possibly cater for we are also going to live stream the event.

The tickets will be released in two batches.  The first batch will be released on the 08/17/2009 at 1:30pm so that it’s across lunchtime rather than meeting times! The second batch are at an after work time of 8:30pm on 08/18/2009.  Remember to add those times to the diary.

We will open up a small reserves list but we need to know drop outs asap as we can’t have more than 80 people for fire & safety reasons and Channel 4 require a list of attendees in advance of the event for name badges and to provide to security.

Many thanks

Want to Organise Girl Geek Dinners in London?
icon1 | icon2 Press | icon4 06 10th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

Since most of the current organisation committee are now based outside of London or have high workloads we’re looking for some new members and a leader for our organising committee.

What we are looking for are passionate, driven women who love the IT industry and want to help encourage more people into the industry and make the industry a friendly and welcoming place for those currently in the industry. We are looking for people who have great ideas, connections with geeky companies and people who have spare time available on a regular basis to spend time creating events, update the website, market the events and keep an eye on the e-mail inbox. All organisers must be really good at communication as communication really has been something that is key to our success!

Breakfast on Pluto hd

Fly Me to the Moon release If you are interested in joining the organisation committee please send us an e-mail detailing what areas you see yourself being most useful in, and why you are passionate about helping out with this community. Please note that the events are non-profit and the organisers are unpaid volunteers.

On a personal note I will be stepping down in August as the key organiser for London Girl Geek Dinners due to an increased workload and my Girl Geek Dinner focus being placed more on supporting and structuring the Global Girl Geek Dinners and on getting Girl Geek Dinners it’s charitable status within the UK but with a focus on taking the charity global. I’m also looking for a friendly lawyer and accountant to work with us on the Girl Geek Dinners worldwide charitable work on a pro bono basis. If you know of anyone suitable or are interested then please e-mail me and I’d be happy to discuss this further with you.
