#BGGD48 Quick post about Delta Lloyd Life, @AnnMetPensioen @PensionDeClaire and two iPhones

Clo Willaerts — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 05:54:03 +0000

Tonight’s 48th edition of Brussels Girl Geek Dinners is made possible by Delta Lloyd Life.

As a pension insurer Delta Lloyd Life takes its social responsibility by participating in the debate with the various Belgian pension players. The pension debate shouldn’t just only be conducted in De Wetstraat. An annual pension survey, the Independent Chair of Pension Policy at the K.U. Leuven, the Pension Ambassador Award and the current campaign “Vrouwen Met Pensioen” are just some of its initiatives that seek to put the pension dialogue on the agenda. Take a look at
www.vrouwenmetpensioen.be / www.lapensiondesfemmes.be..

Two female bloggers, Ann Detelder (@AnnMetPensioen) and Claire Cervollo (@PensionDeClaire), were asked to document their month on the minimum pension fee. How did they cope?

And most importantly: which one of the girl geeks win the two iPhones tonight?

#BGGD46 Pink Ribbon photo shoot

Clo Willaerts — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 16:21:05 +0000

To support breast cancer awareness (and the 5th edition of Pink Ribbon Magazine) a few dozen of my Sanoma Media colleagues have volunteered to pose nude with the magazine. Among them virtually every magazine editor and a couple of men, too.

I’ve used mine as a profile picture on Facebook and Twitter to spread the message.

During #BGGD46, girl geeks can line up for the same photo shoot (if they want too, of course). It’s an all-female professional photo crew and they’re very pleasant to work with. By the way, do you recognise the girl geek in this gallery?

#BGGD45 Surprise for the ladies: 3D printed jewelry thx @imaterialise

Clo Willaerts — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 12:27:04 +0000

i.materialise is a creation and 3Dprinting service that enables people with a creative mind to create unique, customised and beautiful products. The girl geeks visited them in their early days, back in november 2009. Many of the girl geeks envisioned using the technology to create unique jewelry pieces.

Well, the 3D printed jewels have arrived. More and more designers worldwide are using 3Dprinting to create wonderful pieces of art. We would like to present a couple of those on the next Girl Geeks night. We look forward to your feedback. Enjoy girls!

Tonight, at the reception desk, there are 25 freshly printed 3D jewels – just for the ladies. Please pick one as you arrive and let us all know on Twitter, Facebook, your blog etc what you think of it!

#BGGD45 on 14 Sep: get ready for a Geek Battle!

Clo Willaerts — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 11:01:36 +0000

During the IFA fair (the world’s largest and most important trade fair for consumer electronics and household appliances) Sony threw their answer on the tablet pile: the Sony Tablet. And they want to have your thoughts on the newborn during Brussels Girl Geek Dinner #45. No boring you to death with 500 slides, but an entertaining evening. Well, let’s be honest, it’s the Sony people who will be entertained by you!

You’ll be fighting a geek battle: you and your buddy will fight a number of cross-category challenges against the other teams. Pop quiz, videogaming, the occasional app to download and use, uploading a picture…

Two top geeks will win a Sony Tablet at the end of the evening. And there’s an additional challenge for the more
creative geek who’s not in a combative mood. A part from the prizes, who has never wanted to beat another geek at their own game?

Studio Brussel’s Steven Lemmens (@stvn) will act as MC, jury and shoulder to cry on if you’re not happy with the results of the evening.

Course of the evening

18.30 welcome and explanation of the rules of the game
19.00 walking buffet – find your buddy – check out the list of challenges
19.45 battle!
+/- 22.00 finals and award presentation

Venue
The Event Lounge
Gen. Wahislaan 16F Av. Gén. Wahis
1030 Brussels

The Event Lounge hosts the Sony open days at the same time, so you’ll have a chance to see the latest products that’ll hit the AV-market in the coming months.

Looking for a girl geek with a Nespresso machine

Clo Willaerts — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 07:28:11 +0000

Thanks to Douwe Egberts the girl geeks at tonight’s BGGD42 in Winkelhaak, Antwerp will go home with a selection of Douwe Egberts L´OR EspressO capsules. But why wouldn’t be taste this top-quality Arabica coffee during the girl geek dinner event? I’ll bring the cups (and some cream and sugar). But who has a Nespresso machine to try the cups out?

#BGGD42 Sweepstake: LaCie CurrenKey USB Flash Drives

Clo Willaerts — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 07:13:38 +0000

In the early days of Brussels Girl Geek Dinners, sweepstakes were invariably organised as a TV show telephone game (often dubbed belspeldelspel by the girl geeks). Today, obviously, it would be a Twitter sweepstake. What can girl geeks win at tonight’s BGGD42 in Winkelhaak, Antwerp?

One of these three LaCie CurrenKey USB Flash Drives, one with a gold(16GB), one with a silver (8GB), and one with a bronze (4GB) finish.
