Following on from the post about writing your Ada Lovelace Pledge, come and join us on Ada Lovelace Day, 24 March 2010, to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science!
During the evening we will hear from Maggie Philbin, the science and technology journalist that many of us remember fondly from Tomorrow’s World, and… you! The evening will be a potluck unconference, meaning that you get to talk about the women who have inspired you, and catering for the event is provided by all of us bringing food and drink to share.
Schedule
6.00 pm: Arrival, drinks, networking, attendees sign up to talk if you want to.
7.00 pm: Introduction by Suw Charman-Anderson, Maggie Philbin talks about her inspiration
7.15 pm: Unconference! Those who signed up can give a short, 3-4 minute talk about their tech/sci heroine.
8.00 pm: Drinks and networking.
Catering
This is a potluck, which means that we all bring food and drink for ourselves and to share. There’s a Tesco about 10 minutes walk away at 21 Caledonian Road, near Kings Cross Station. Please also bring any plates, glasses, cultery and napkins that you may need. We’ll provide a few, but our resources are limited!
Pledge!
This event is part of Ada Lovelace Day 2010, an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science. Please sign our pledge and join hundreds of other people in supporting women in tech & science.
Who can come?
Although this is an event celebrating the achievements of women, anyone can attend. Both the pledge and the event are open to all.
