Geekend 2009, Savannah GA (11/6-8)

CoastalData — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 04:00:32 +0000

What is Geekend? Geekend is the annual gathering of the geek tribe in Savannah, Georgia. Geekend is what you might call an interactive conference with some truly awesome parties. It’s the kind of event that you’ll be texting, tweeting and Facebooking from and all your friends back home will be super jealous.

Geekend is a mashup, a meetup and a tweet-up all mixed together in a delicious low country boil of innovative ideas. It’s networking, Savannah style. It’s a veritable supermarket of fresh ideas. To sum Geekend up in one word is really quite impossible, but we tend to use this one: Fun.

Who you calling a Geek? We are. Why? Because geeks are cool. But you know that right? Geeks are awesome. Geeks make the modern world go round. Geeks have intense passion for everything they do. Geeks don’t mess around. Geeks have gusto. Geeks get it done. Geeks come from every walk of life and work and play in every discipline. This November the geeks of the world will unite in Savannah, Georgia.

So, unleash your inner geek and come and get your geek on.

Who should come to Geekend? You should! Whether you are casually twittering, facebooking, texting or obsessively gaming, then you should definitely plan on coming. If you’re writing a super cool iPhone app, then you should come. If you are a designer, developer, blogger or a just a new media fanatic, then you should come. If you are obsessed with all the digital aspects of music, film and art, then you should plan on breaking it down at Geekend.

Does the future of social media appeal to you? Does the direction of design, online and offline, grab your attention? Are you a creative who is just as adept at building your castles in the digital sandbox as you are at the beach? Then perfect, sign up now, because Geekend is for you.

Why is Geekend in Savannah, Georgia? Because Savannah is awesome! The city is one of the most incredibly beautiful, cool, historic and fun places to live in or visit. That’s because Savannah is a magnet for cool creative types who’ve come here for business, school, the weather, the vibe, the beach, the architecture, the Spanish moss, the friendly locals, great food and energetic nightlife (and the fact that you can legally walk down the street with a cold adult beverage in a to-go cup that we like to call a “traveler”).

Oh yeah, we’re also the most haunted city in America, but we get along well with our ghosts.

Be aware though, that once you come to Savannah and it casts its spell on you, you’ll probably want to stay.

How much are tickets? The early bird gets the best deal and we have several ticket levels.

Early Bird (purchase before 10/6): $65
Full Price: $95
Student: $40
Conference Only: $65
Social Function Only: $30

Go to Eventbrite to purchase.

I need a place to crash. Can you recommend a hotel? Yes we can. We’ll be announcing some special deals next week. Stay tuned.

I’m interested in speaking at Geekend. Is there someone I can contact? Do you have what it takes to speak or present at Geekend? What exactly do you do? Send us a link or tell us something about your book, company or that special geeky quality that you think will light a fire under the geeks at Geekend. We’d love to meet you. Email info@geekend2009.com.

We at Coastal Data would love to see everyone there!
