Edmonton Girl Geek Dinners

What is a Girl Geek Dinner? Girl Geek Dinners began in London, England when Sarah Blow was sick and tired of being one of a very few number of women at tech events. We've also noticed a lack of girl-centric tech events in Edmonton so we applied to Girl Geek Dinners and received our own local Chapter and we would love for you to be involved.
