The evening will be informal, friendly and chilled. Enjoy a glass of wine, a lip-smacking buffet and the chance to hang out with the city's brightest creatives, technologists, programmers, entrepreneurs, marketeers, PR professionals and creative & digital girls (yes, we'll outnumber the boys!)

the evening's speakers will include...

Inspired by early ringtone formulas, this transcribes standard print notation into Braille for blind musicians. When Lydia retires, she plans to write Knit One, Purl Nought - The Smart Girls' Guide to Being a Geek.
