In conjunction with Women’s History Month, Yahoo! is proud to be hosting its second Bay Area Girl Geek Dinner on March 22nd, to celebrate and honor all of the tremendous women who work in the technology industry – past, present and future.

More than 400 women from across the leading tech companies will meet, network and share their wealth of tech experience, including diverse perspectives from women at different stages of their careers. Guests can participate in an informal Yahoo! panel discussion on ensuring the success of women in technology in the future, as well as a host of other fun events that will run throughout the night. There will be two photo booths, a “Women in History” Jeopardy game and an anagram puzzle station. Attendees will also be able to experience Yahoo! products, such as Livestand, Connected TV, Hadoop and YSlow - all of which have had major contributions from Yahoo!’s female technologists.

So you may be asking, what is a girl geek?  We define girl geeks as women who are passionate about technology and are making a difference in their field each and every day.  The organization behind the dinner, Yahoo! Women in Tech, touts more than 600 members across the globe and focuses on empowering female tech professionals to succeed, as well as encouraging K-12 girls to pursue technical careers.  The group is thrilled to host this event again and showcase the incredible contributions and achievements of both women at Yahoo! and the wider industry.

We hope you can join us for an informative and enjoyable evening that celebrates your efforts and achievements in tech!
