Hi guys,

I'm in the final phases of organising the second Manchester Girl Geek
Dinner.

When: 25th July 7pm
Where: Salford University, University House
Who can attend: Girl Geeks! A lady who has an interest, or is involved
in the Science, Engineering and Technology industries. Blokes can come
too, but you need an invite from a Geek Girl (don't ask me as I
already have my date)!

What:
For those who haven't been before, it's dinner, wine, talks from
inspirational women, networking and discussions afterwards.

Dress up as much as you like, for those of us who like to wear pretty
dresses (I am!), or if you're more comfortable in jeans that's fine
too.

Currently we have two talks planned, if you want to get involved and
speak about women in engineering, science and technology, please do
get in touch.

The talks:
Gemma Cameron - How to get young people interested in Geekery!

Rachael Hoyle - winner of the IET's Dyson Young Woman Apprentice of
Year Award. Rachael will be delivering an extremely interesting talk
around the stigma of women in engineering. This will cover how ethics
and equality are the dominant factors in employment, and whether this
is damaging the industry, rather than encouraging diversity.
