Get Your Geek On: 6th Annual GeekGirlCon Draws Geeks of All Stripes
by Jovelle Tamayo
GeekGirlCon, an annual convention in its sixth year, celebrates women contributing to science, tech, arts, comics, literature, and video games. Though the event — which aims to grow female geek culture — targets women and girls, all geeks are welcome. The volunteer-run event prides itself in its efforts toward community building, empowerment, and fostering diversity, and attracted more than 8,500 attendees this year.
