Girls geek out over dinner
A group of women who define themselves as ‘girl geeks’ are trying to encourage a greater female presence in the technology industry by arranging Girl Geek Dinners across the world. Technology conferences can often be all-male affairs and in some countries the technology industry employs very few female workers. Digital Planet’s reporter Angela Saini, attended their most recent meeting at the offices of Microsoft in London. The idea behind the dinners is to change what some women in technology feel is a very male-dominated culture.
