GeekGirlMeetup Aims for the Stars

Geek Girl Meetup - Enter.Space from h3idi on Vimeo.

GeekGirlMeetup gathers 250 ladies to talk about data, code, and startups on the 25+26th of May in Stockholm, Sweden. The theme for 2013 is Enter.space,  and we will explore galaxies, Sci-fi, games, astronomi, satellites, space-quiz, coding/developing, design, innovations, tech-development and robots.
Some of the speakers are Cecilia Hertz, CEO at Umbilical Design who shares a talk on collaborations with NASA and the european space-organisation ESA. Carolina Gomez Lagerlöf from Patentverket (Agency for patents) dives into patents in the intersection between space-research and science-fiction and Tess Lindberg tells the storie about Jerrie Cobb that could have been - and should have been, the first lady in space. A steady supply of web, code and startup talk will also fill the three halls of the un-conferance.
"GeekGirlMeetup is a fantastic event that creates conditions for elevating the female role-models that exist in the IT-industry. For us it's been a necessity to support the event, and we are proud to have been there from the very beginning." 

- Christer Bengtsson, Market assistant, Binero.se Webbhotell

"GeekGirlMeetup is a fantastic event that really contributes to the entire IT industries development. When you gather that many female role-models in web, code and startups in one place it creates greatness and for us it feels like a necessity to support this initiative. - Michael Holmström, Business Area Manager, AcademicWork.com
