Reading Girl Geek Dinner

When I first heard about 'Girl Geek dinner', it straights away aroused my interest to attend. Thanks Natasha for reminding me about the dinner yesterday :)

The Reading Girl Geek Dinner was held in Glo restaurant on the 23rd September. Despite the rain, the attendance was actually quite good. The dinner was sponsored by Dedipower Managed Hosting Ltd. The guest speaker was Sarah Blow who is the founder of the Girl Geek Dinners. The topic was "Where It All Began".

Just to clarify, the attendees were all not IT geeks, techie with thick spec and talk like weirdo. They were professionals working in the IT industry besides me. Ha! A MSc who is still in the learning phase.

The networking session was quite cool! Catching up with some latest IT news, how the market works, and in fact, I am not sure why am a bit carried away when talking about my dissertation research although it may just a piece of shit! Lol!

There are chaps as well attending the event :)

Dame Anita Roddick, the founder of The Body Shop International, once said that 'Women are good at combining their interests with thier skills and transforming them into a livelihood'. So I am just thinking perhaps in the next Reading Girl Geek Dinner, we can talk about something that we can create based on the IT related knowledge that we have. Ha!

By the way, there was this bloke was saying that I don't look like an undergraduate, then he added, 'in a good way.' lol! No worries, I can't stop myself from aging anyway! So just have to deal with it... :)
