She's Geeky: A Women's Tech (un)Conference

---------

She's Geeky is putting some money into the Girl Geek Revolution evening Thursday June 26th at the Sugar Cafe from 6-9.

---------

The She's Geeky (un)conference provides an agenda-free and friendly environment for women who not only care about building technology that is useful for people, but who also want to encourage more women to get involved.

We are planning to host She's Geeky East in the fall in NYC.  There are meetups in DC, NYC and Boston to prepare for the fall conference between July 9th and 13th. Join our Facebook Group to get notified of these and RSVP when we annouce.

She's Geeky West will be in the Winter in the Bay Area. Joining the facebook group is the best way to get updates.

THIS WIKI COVERS OUR FIRST EVENT OCT 22-23, 2007

Event Coverage from the last (un)conference - Blogs, Notes, Videos

She's Geeky is designed to provide women who self-identify as geeky and who are engaged in various technology-focused disciplines with a gathering space in which they can exchange skills and discuss ideas and form community across and within disciplines.

Our goal is to create an open space forum for women in tech www.siliconcalley.com/2008/06/girl-geek-revolution/to come together to:

1. Exchange skills and learning from women from diverse fields of technology.
2. Discuss topics about women and technology.
3. Connect the diverse range of women in technology, computing, entrepreneurship, funding, hardware, open source, nonprofit and any other technical geeky field.

This is an unconference so it will have an agenda created by the people who attend.
