In spring 2010 three fantastic girls ( Anna Oscarsson , Emma Estbornand Kristin Heinonen) got the initiative to organise the first Geek Girl Meetup Öresund in the city of Helsingborg, Sweden. A whole day with inspiring sessions by other interesting, smart and fantastic women making it out there!!! 100 Geeks united, networking and exchanging experiences under a whole day. The concept started in Stockholm, then this trio brought it to Öresund, and from there the idea for Geek Girl Meetup Copenhagen, driven by an amazing woman Henriette Weber started!
I decided it would be interesting to bring that project to México, specifically to Guadalajara, where I had my university network. A couple of months later I co-produced the first Geek Girl Meetup Mexico together with Elizabeth & Jackeline Maldonado, Karla Gradilla and Poke Garcia.
Geek Girls Mexico is still alive and just had their 10th anniversary. I don’t participate so much anymore due to my latest work load, but I get invited from time to time to talk about how everything started, or just talk about what I think about the movement.
