Calling All Techie Women
One of the best things about going out on a speaking tour is meeting up with IT professionals across Canada and I was really pumped to discover that there was going to be a Winnipeg Girl Geek Dinner the same week that Damir and I would be there for Align IT. While the event got moved to the end of the week and I won’t be able to attend, I have been in touch with organizer, Trish Rempel and will be getting together with her earlier in the week for an alternate geeky girl dinner.
Now, I really like getting together with the guys, too, but I am wondering if there are other women in IT along my upcoming travel route who would be interested in connecting. Why? Well, it’s always fun to get together with like-minded people and there are few enough of us girls in the IT profession that it’s a bit special to meet up. I bet there would be ways we could help each other out in business or life. If nothing else, we’ll have made another connection in this crazy world.
I’d be up for coffee, breakfast, lunch, dinner or anything in between. Heck, I’ll even buy (unless there are dozens of you!). Here’s my travel schedule:
| Halifax | Monday March 1 to Wednesday March 3 |
| Winnipeg | Monday March 8 to Wednesday March 10 |
| Calgary | Monday March 15 to Wednesday March 17 |
| Vancouver | Wednesday March 17 to Friday March 19 |
| Ottawa | Monday March 22 to Wednesday March 24 |
| Montreal | Wednesday March 24 to Friday March 26 |
| Mississauga* | Monday March 29 to Tuesday March 30 |
| Markham* | Tuesday March 30 to Wednesday March 31 |
Send me an email at ruth.morton@microsoft.com or contact me on Twitter (@ruthm). Really. I’m serious. I’m standing by. Waiting. Don’t leave me hanging!
* If you’re in the Toronto area, I’m in and out of there all the time, so we don’t have to wait until Align IT to meet up.

A great opportunity to connect and grow!
I’m looking forward to it. All techie Winnipegians (?) – come join us! If you’re a guy and would like to attend, all you need to do is get a woman to take you.
See you then!
