GIRLS IN TECH TO LAUNCH LOS ANGELES CHAPTER AT TWIIST UP AND MASHABLE MASHMEET TECH EVENTS
Popular Silicon Valley Organization Seeks to Unite Local Women in Technology, Internet, Business
Los Angeles, Calif. — July 17, 2008 — Girls in Tech, an organization that helps young, professional and influential women to succeed in internet, technology and digital media/entertainment business, will be launching its highly anticipated Los Angeles chapter in conjunction with the wildly popular Twiist Up party on July 17, 2008 at Viceroy in Santa Monica. The celebration will carry over to an exclusive launch dinner on July 18 followed by the “tech-tastic” Mashable MashMeet party. Bay Area and local Girls in Tech leaders and advisors will be on hand both nights.
The organization was formed in March 2007 by Bay Area tech executive Adriana Gascoigne, who hosts special events, workshops, and networking parties for women in all facets of the business. The Los Angeles chapter will mirror these efforts locally to help connect and inspire women of all ages in the tech and digital media/entertainment industries. In addition, Girls in Tech gives companies, partners and sponsors the opportunity to reach young, hip and influential women online and offline through the organizations efforts.
“I’m excited to see our vision expand into another market, especially one that’s so connected to digital media and entertainment,” said Gascoigne. “We’re looking forward to connecting the women in the city and hopefully, helping them work and play better.”
As part of the launch festivities, Girls in Tech will have a big presence at the Twiistup and MashMeet events. The private dinner will help connect the organization’s representatives with high level executives in tech, digital entertainment and media. The Los Angeles chapter includes advisory involvement from local business women and will seek to mirror the organization’s efforts locally.
“It’s an exciting time for the internet, digital entertainment and technology in Los Angeles,” added Gascoigne about the upcoming launch. “We’re very happy to be part of it!”
