Current thinking is large venue joint event with Geek Dinners maybe... Probably entry charge of some sort... Sit down dinner & awards ceremony maybe... need to ask the Girl Geeks! :)

Would love to find some sponsors to sponsor awards for Girl Geeks such as highest achiever, most active member, Best speaker 2008 etc... Open to ideas!
