Girl Geek Dinners: Leonie Cooper interviews Sarah Blow, the founder of Geek Girl Dinners, an event held all over the world that let women get-together and talk about anything 'geeky'.

In 2005, Sarah Blow attended an event called Geek Dinners, a technology gathering with industry speakers, and found that she was one of only 20 women in a crowd of 150 people. She was perturbed by the reactions to her presence...The reaction to Blow underlines the fact that women are still a significant minority in science, engineering and technology (SET)...On the train home from that event, Blow began work on an idea to turn those figures around. A few months later she held the first London Girl Geek Dinner. The premise is simple: a regular event, with speakers and no barrier to entry - men can attend if they are invited by a woman.
Apart from London, there are many Girl Geek Dinners held around the globe.
