Geek Girl Tech Cons for 2014 have been announced and we are busy getting prepped to deliver the best in tech for 2014 for you!
One of our annual traditions is working with our valued Partner Sponsors to be able to collaborate with them, introduce us to their loyal audience and providing them discounts on Tech Cons and then we in turn promote the bejesus out of them online.
A question we always get: How can we become a Partner Sponsor for Geek Girl Tech Cons?
Good question. Here we go:
To be considered, we ask that you are one of the following:
