NY TECH DAY a revolutionary one-day expo created specifically for New York City-based tech startups, is confirmed for Thursday, April 19, 2012 in the Flatiron District. In line with the openness of the NY tech community, Tech Day is free to attend.

Exhibiting startups will have an unprecedented chance to gain exposure, publicity, talent and—of course—funding. The event will boast top companies, investors, a roster of tech speakers and industry press.

Over 200 startups are expected to showcase their companies, celebrating the best of the burgeoning New York tech community. Additionally, students from many of the top east coast universities will be amongst those in attendance – seeking opportunities to meet and interact with the city’s best and brightest innovators.

NY Tech Day is formatted in two parts: the “Expo” and the “Award Ceremony”.

The Expo will run from 10:00am – 4:00pm, and give exhibiting startups the chance to meet members of the tech community head-on, including investors, other prominent startups, potential hires, early adopters, and members of the press.

The Award Ceremony, held from 6:00pm – 8:00pm, will include a state of the NY Tech Community discussion as well as the much-anticipated prize presentations. The Peoples’ Choice Startup winner will also have the opportunity to demo in front of the whole tech community.

Have you ever heard of London Girl Geek Dinners?  What started as an organisation comprising of a few women passionate about tech has blossomed into a worldwide network of “dinners” from New Zealand through to Toronto and now the home of that movement – London – is turning 5 years old!

London Girl Geek Dinners is all about inspiring more girls to get into tech, more women to stay in tech and more not-currently-techie women to get involved. We run events in high schools, in businesses and in pubs with inspirational women and men talking about technology in its varied forms. Whether discussing using computerised techniques in creating manga or digital cows, London Girl Geek Dinners appeals to a wide range of people.

OK so what’s happening as we turn 5 ? We are hosting an event at Google HQ on August 4th –  they are our main sponsor. They will be feeding us and giving us goodie bags. Perfect! The wine has been supplied by Dinastia Vivanco and in the goodie bags we have lovely goodies from Green & Blacks, VitaminWater and Juniper Networks. We’ve also got raffle prizes including LGGD sweatshirts and all money from the raffle will go to helping us to gain charitable status. Speakers at the event include Sarah Gordon from Google and Sue Black.

Excited? I’m sure you are.  Want to be a member? I’m sure you do. Just pop over to www.groups.google.com/group/london-girl-geek-dinners/ and sign up for free! Woo hoo!
