The final Toronto Girl Geek Dinner of 2008 is coming up on November 20th at the Hot House Cafe at 7:00pm and PriceWaterhouseCoopers is picking up the tab this time around. The theme this month will be surviving bad economic times through innovation and the evening will focus primarily on a roundtable discussion, facilitated by Connie Crosby of Crosby Group Consulting, about how technology leaders can continue to innovate during tough economic times.
Some of the topics Crosby will cover include taking smart risks, using a downturn as a catalyst for innovation, finding a solid strategy, and the opportunities for people inside organizations and for entrepreneurs.
