The Cape Town chapter of Girl Geek Dinner launched in January 2011 to bring together the fabulous Geeky ladies of Cape Town, and their male counterparts.
Please note this is a not-for-profit initiative and no cash is being spent on advertising and marketing the events. We are reliant on the community spreading the word and we are in no way exclusive! So, everyone is welcome!

About Girl Geek Dinners:
The Girl Geek Dinners were founded on the 16th August 2005 as a result of one girl geek who got annoyed and frustrated about being one of the only females attending technical events. She was tired of being assumed to be marketing, tired of constantly having to prove herself and decided that she just wanted a change and to be treated just the same as any other geek out there, gender and age aside. After all to be geeky is to be intelligent, have passion for a subject and to know that subject in depth. It’s not at all about being better than others, or about gender, race, religion or anything else. Those things just detract from the real fun stuff, the technology, the innovation and the spread of new ideas.

You rock! This is fantastic. I look forward to hearing about events and activities.
Can’t wait to come to my first ever GG Dinner. I am only a Geek in the making but am told I am still welcome. In the meantime I have a very special workspace available which is perfect for Girl Geeks. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150174891079893.316025.550079892. Regards Lisa Chait
I think this is a great concept. I have just signed up to receive letters and hope to attend one in the future. I believe that woman should pull their resources and network together, we have the talent, skills and power in our own hands to make a diffence in our careers.
