Girl Geek Day next week

It’s less than a week to Girl Geek Day. Many people have emailed asking do they need to sign up, plain answer is no, I just asked that folks do so that I have an idea of numbers. Don’t worry if you haven’t.

Some information, it’s going to be a very informal day. Mostly foscused on discussion groups.  I have added a timetable, if folks want to add in a topic, discussion, something they want to show off and explain to people. Please do. One suggestion was 20 slides in five minuets, how do you think you’d do ? Perhaps there is a topic you’d like to discuss, put it up there, maybe others would like to talk about it.

This day was just something I decided to put out there, I hope folks come along and actively take part in it. Thanks
