We've had some good times on this blog, which our fearless founder Tanya McGinnity set up back in 2007.
But we decided it was time for a change, so we got some new digs in the form of a new domain and wordpress blog, which can be found here: http://montrealgirlgeeks.com
Don't forget to update your RSS feeds! See you on our new blog. :)

Presenting our Panelists for the Women in Technology Panel Discussion
Women in Technology Panel Discussion
co-presented by Montreal Girl Geeks and Startup Drinks.
Much has been said about the gender disparity in the world of technology, but what can all of us do to improve the situation? This panel discussion will be focused on finding solutions to increase the visibility, and numbers of women in tech.

Robin Ahn is Operations and Community Manager for Flow Ventures, a startup accelerator in Montreal. As an instigator on startupdrinks.ca and Montreal curator on events email list "The Startup Digest", it's her pleasure to be implicated across the local startup scene.

She would love it if someone would do her the good turn of introducing her Jessica Livingston (Partner, Y Combinator). Robin also hates writing about herself, especially in the third person.
Elisabeth Vanderveldt, Owner of Conamex International. Elisabeth started the ‘Women in Technology’ (WIT) movement with IAMCP and along with her daughter co-founded GEN Inc, an initiative to encourage young girls and women to get involved with technology.
