Wikimedia UK and Bristol Girl Geek Dinners are collaborating on this event, which is hosted by the University of Bristol and includes a free buffet. Men are welcome, so long as they are invited or accompanied by a woman. Non-geeks with an interest in Wikipedia are welcome too. There will be wifi available and attendees are recommended to bring a laptop or other device so they can get hands-on with Wikipedia.

Attendees are welcome to book online through Eventbrite.

Girl Geek Dinners are events run by groups of women who are interested in technology and engineering. There are GGD events in cities around the UK and beyond. The collaboration between Wikimedia UK and Bristol GGD goes back to Bristol Wiki Academy 1.
