Girl Geeks (Artikel nur in Englisch)

Women have been involved with technology and the Web 2.0 movement for as long as these industries have existed. It's only in the past 5 years when the world is starting to take notice.

Now, there is an active presence of women in the technology industry and the contributions they have made has created a positive impact. There are just a few of them.

Sarah Blow, Software Engineer at Cardinal Health founded Girl Geek Dinners out of a need to connect with other women in the technology field. After having attended numerous conferences and seminars, Sarah had noticed that the turnout of women compared to men was relatively low. She knew that there were many women in the industry but where to find them was the question. Creating the first Girl Geek Dinner in London was a success. Women and men can now get together under a common and passionate interest to share ideas, thoughts and work ethics. Sarah's vision of gathering women in the technology sector for networking and connecting has been a positive influence. The Girl Geek Dinners are now international with a presence in 9 countries, 55 cities and growing.
