Geek Girls Rock!

By Erin • September 4, 2008

Welcome to the new digs of the Chicago Geek Girls Group, the virtual watering hole and meeting space for all women who are proud to identify as geek girls.

Chicago Geek Girls is a network of groups devoted to supporting the work & play of women who identify as geeks, many of whom work in techie jobs and/or companies.

The CGG network is composed of three core groups: the Chicago Geek Girls Dinner series, dedicated to facilitating professional networking & development of women in technology; the Chicago Geek Girls Social Group, and the Geek Girls Outreach group, which is dedicated to providing mentoring and technical services to community & educational organizations in Chicago.

This site contains pages dedicated to each of the Chicago Geek Girls divisions, including an eventa calendar, blog, and members-only materials.
