Amsterdam Girl Geek Dinner

On Friday April the 17th some British, Belgian and Dutch Girl Geek Dinner organizers met up in Amsterdam, during the Next Web ‘09 Conference.

(Clockwise L-R: Sarah Blow, Leen Segers, Imke Dielen, Marjon Wiendels, Melanie Rieback)

Excitingly, one of the attendees was Sarah Blow, the founder of the international Girl Geek Dinner movement!

Sarah brought along a male friend, Chippy, who showed us a menagerie of mobile computing gadgets. (Videos of this is can be seen at the girlygeekdom blog and at Chippy’s blog). The Girl Geeks compared notes about the Dinners in their various locations. And Chippy now even wants to start his own Girl Geek Dinner in Bonn!
