Event Details

Join us downtown at EAT! Bistro in Aqua Books to talk about technology at our first-ever Winnipeg Girl Geek Dinner.

We will start with food and drinks at 6:00 PM, then move upstairs to a comfy sitting area to hear from our guest speaker and discuss the format of future events.

The goal of these events is to build a community for Girl Geeks (and their invited male friends) to get together, learn and talk about technology. All levels of expertise and age groups are welcome, and we hope to see representatives from many areas such as math and science, new media, graphic design, dev, tech, and more.

This Month's Topic: How to Make Money in Digital Media

Coree Francisco from GirlOne Interative will be sharing how you can sell technology and digital media together to form the client's best friend and put your best foot forward. She'll describe what tools you need to develop to help you get where you want to be, and how to create your own development team in a cost-effective manner to make the most of your sale.
