Tonight I was lucky enough to pin down the Geek Goddess herself Damana Madden, who started the Sydney Girl Geek Dinners and is now the Asia Pacific Contact for setting up a Girl Geek Dinner on behalf of Sarah Blow. We talk about the importance of this community for Women Working in IT, what its like to head along to a Girl Geek Dinner, as well as some tips for how to get one started in your community.

Damana mentions the next Girl Geek Dinner which is actually a luncheon at this years Tech Ed and includes an amazing panel of local & international Women - and as an added bonus, if you register to attend you get a free days access to Tech Ed. Places are filling fast, so register online here if you would like to attend using the Promotion code of wit08.
