GeekGirlCon is a new female-focused, geek centric convention that celebrates the feminine involvement and contribution in Geek Culture October 8th-9th, 2011 at the Seattle Center’s Northwest Rooms.
Erica McGillivray, GeekGirlCon’s President and Marketing Director says, “GeekGirlCon is a one-of-a-kind convention celebrating geeky women and the wide variety of geeky things they are interested and involved in.” The first of its kind, GeekGirlCon strives to be an event that celebrates women in the fields of math, the sciences, fiction, games, comics and more.
I hope there are also sexy men to stare at, and that they don't ignore the horror genre!
“Planning this convention has shown me that I am not alone,” Michelle Pearson, GeekGirlCon’s Treasurer and Account manager says. “Meeting other geeky women and realizing that there are men in the community who appreciate and support us has been the best part of this journey so far. I’m excited to be a part of this and can’t wait to see our plans and ideas become reality.”
GeekGirlCon is a non-profit organization, you can find out more at www.geekgirlcon.com. FGT may very well be there, so keep an eye out for us!
