Hosted at the fabulous Microsoft Office there will be a games and consoles to ravage while you simultaneously catch up with the coolest females in IT around! I mean, you don’t expect us to lounge around with martinis all the time, now do you?

Tracy Whitelaw, Chief Knowledge Engineer at artificial intelligence company MyCyberTwin will speak about women in games and the gaming industry. Her profile is on the event page I linked to above if you’d like a snapshot. I’m definitely keen to hear about the world of online worlds, character development and pop culture.

So if “you are a geek and a girl or know of one who is willing to escort you then you are welcome and encouraged to come along.” Don’t be too afraid to join in if you’re a gentleman, just tell me or the organisers that you’d like to come along. I’m expecting a comment or two on this post joking we’ll require someone to set up the Xbox 360 anyway!

Last thing, as I type, the event website states that food is BYO, however the latest news is that food will be provided. Make sure you inform the organisers if you have any particular dietry requirements for smiles all ’round.
