Geek Girl Tech Conference

When: Sat., Nov. 15, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. 2014

This hands-on tech conference geared toward women (men are welcome, too) makes a stop in the Q.C. for a day of guest speakers, workshops and lots of info on tech careers. There’s also a Sharkette Tank — where folks can pitch innovative ideas to a panel of judges — and a HackFest with interactive problem solving activities for those of varying computer skill levels and sets.
