What is a Geek Breakfast?
- A Geek Breakfast is a monthly community-driven meeting for local (and visiting) technology-minded people. Each month attendees congregate over bacon, eggs and plenty of coffee to discuss topics like social media, digital marketing, design, programming, and ways to better their communities.
- The first geek breakfast was held in December 2007 in Nashville, TN.
The Three Rules of Geek Breakfast
- Everyone is invited, attendance is free (excluding food, beverage and gratuity).
- Pictures, audio and video should be licensed under Creative Commons and tagged using "yourcitynamegeekbreakfast" and "geekbreakfast". Please add them to the Geek Breakfast Flickr Group.
- Geek Breakfasts shall never be sponsored. If a company approaches you about sponsorship opportunities recommend they sponsor local unconferences instead, like a barcamp or podcamp. It's important to note that if the breakfast gets sponsored you'll wind up with many people turning up for a free meal, rather than being there to contribute to the conversation.
- Please add your local Geek Breakfast to the list.
How do I hold a Geek Breakfast?
- Use a free service (like Eventbrite, Facebook or Upcoming.org) that's as simple as possible to allow RSVPS, so the host can have an accurate count.
- Speak with a local restaurant who can handle a large group for breakfast. I recommend 7:30 - 8:30 am. Be sure the restaurant will allow you to have separate checks. Be clear that the food and coffee is not free. Anticipate your group to grow over time, choose a restaurant accordingly to save future confusion.
