Last week, Elsa, Gemma and I got together to talk Girl Geek tactics. It was great to be able to talk to Elsa face to face and for her to share her experiences of Nottingham events in the past, and Gemma was a great help with her tips she learnt from GirlGeek Manchester, Geekups and various Barcamps. Gemma recommended Google Groups as a great way to keep in touch and share ideas. This has now been set up, so please join our Google Group now!

Of course, this isn't the only way to keep in touch, to make sure you don't miss out on details of our future events, you can Email us, follow us on Twitter, join our Facebook Group or subscribe to our RSS Feed.

Hello all! I’m Kate, an Account Managerfrom Zabisco,a User Centred Design Agency in Nottingham. I got in touch with Elsa to see ifthere were any events in the pipleline and to see if I could offer anyassistance. Elsa’s working away from Nottingham these days, and organising theevents singlehandedly was tough – hopefully with my help and her expertise, wecan get the events back up and running so we can get together to learn, networkand socialise!

We’re thinking of hosting an event inthe next couple of months and taking things from there, so it would be great tohear from you guys about who’s interested, what you’re looking for from theevents and any ideas for venues or speakers! Get in touch or add a comment below!

We are planning a social get together at 7pm on Monday 7th December at Yamas.
