NZ Girl Geek Dinners started in Auckland in November 2007 as an offshoot of the London Girl Geek Dinners.  We now have a group started in Wellington and coming soon, a group in Christchurch.  The aim of these get-togethers is to provide a welcoming atmosphere and a platform for learning in an informal environment, to make technology accessible and to be of interest to all age groups and all people, particularly women, whatever their background.  It is an opportunity for like-minded 'girls'
