We know that "geek" is a rather generic term used to describe a broad swath of the population. Some geeks spend nearly every minute of every day reading and writing lines of code. Some spend their time running cables, connecting wires and putting the pieces together. Some geeks are focused on defining the strategy for progress within their organizations. There are even geeks who aren't yet out of the closet - they hide their geekiness from others and pretend to be only business-minded folk.
There is one unifying principal for all of these geeks- technology. Technology is the tie that binds geeks together, and through this technology we find common platforms for conversation, discoveries and a path of progress.
Geek Day is a two-day event focused on bringing geeks together over best-of-breed technologies. Unlike other events where you may receive a brochure or have a conversation with a sales person, Geek Day brings the technology to you through live, functioning demonstrations.
So geeks have the stereotype of lacking social skills. Have you seen 600 geeks in one place talking about technology? No lacking of social skills here!
If the Geek Lab is the heart of Geek Day, then the networking and sharing of ideas is the brain. Connect with your peers and talk about the technologies you've seen at Geek Day, the problems you face in your organization, or the solutions that you've implemented with success.
