Brussels Girl Geek Dinner

On December 7 and 8, 2010, TEDWomen will gather five hundred global thought leaders, innovators and storytellers in Washington, DC, to watch enlightening speakers and connect with a global community of women and men. The cross-disciplinary, cross-generational program will focus on how women think and work, communicate and collaborate, learn and lead. The program will explore what this means and why it matters to all of us.

TEDxFlanders will host the simulcast for this exciting event! Join us at De Kleine Hedonist, in Antwerp for the livestream.

Tuesday 7 December at 20:30 & Wednesday 8 december at 14:30
De Kleine Hedonist
Sint Jacobsmarkt 34
Antwerp, Belgium

Good news! Nokia has kindly agreed to up the maximum amount of Brussels Girl Geek #38 attendees from 80 to 100. By the way: if your name is on the attendees list but you’re not 100% sure you can make it to Brussels at 18:30 this Thursday, please move your name to the off list. This way we can give the Reserves on the list a chance to join us.

And there’s more:

• 18:30-19:30 is now officially declared Passoa Cocktail Hour.

The (Nokia branded) goodie bag contains:

• Passage Fitness First: a free 5 day pass for you and a friend
• A bottle of Passoa and a shaker
• BGGD M&Ms
• More chocolate goodness (Celebrations and Maltesers to be precise)
• Nokia C7 branded USB sticks

Dear Girl Geeks,

In the name of NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® and Mmmmh!, it was a real pleasure meeting you during this delicious brunch (that you prepared yourself, it is true J). It was a great adventure we will remember for a long time having our 40 dedicated women chefs!

We hope you enjoyed the great recipes, the final contest and more than anything else the coffee and the brand new Piccolo machine you just received. We wish you having a lot of fun using it in your every day live and we hope that you will love it as much as we do.

Also, as you did great, The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Cooking Officer of the “Nescafé Dolce Gusto Academy” have the pleasure announcing you that you all deserve the Degree of “Cooking and Coffee Specialist”. You can download it here (.pdf). Congratulations!

Finally, as a last gift, do not forget registering your machine on the website www.dolce-gusto.be and receive a set of Espresso Cups for free with your first order.

Do not hesitate joining the actual Dolce Gusto community on the Facebook fanpage where we posted the pictures of the event and the link to the Paris Match article.

Sincerely yours,

The Nescafé Dolce Gusto and Mmmmh! Teams
