Help send Nerd Nite to Comic Con 2016

nn_cc_fund_ss

For over three years, Nerd Nite has held dozens of events in Orlando, showing that our city is full of brilliant and interesting people. In creating this monthly platform for many of our citizens to present their ideas, we’ve built a strong dense community of people who are eager to discuss and debate. We are the healthy reminder that learning is fun… and its even more fun when you’re drinking with your friends.

Nerd Nite Orlando is about all of you. Your talks, your discussions, and for that reason our monthly events have always been absolutely FREE to attend– but today we need your help.

For the third year Nerd Nite teams from around the country, will be assembling in San Diego this July for a special Comic Con edition of our monthly event and this year, for the first time ever, we will have one of our best Orlando speakers in the official lineup.

There’s nothing we want more than to give Orlando a huge presence in this massive event. Please consider making a contribution and help us send Nerd Nite Orlando to Comic Con 2016.

Nerd Nite Returned to Comic-Con, Courtesy of National Geographic

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- I am Nerd Nite’s biggest fan. If I wasn’t the host, I’d still be in-attendance at every single event. Check out some photos below of Nerd Nite at Comic Con 2015. This is the second year we’ve put on this event and I’m hoping for many more! Special thank you to the presenters Trevor, Joan & Rich, and Allis. And an extra special thank you to National Graphic Channel for making this all possible.

Nerd Nite Set to Return to Comic Con in San Diego

I’m happy to announce that Nerd Nite will be returning to Comic Con International in San Diego, California for the second year in a row thanks to a great partnership with National Geographic. I’ll be hosting the free event, which will feature three presentations and trivia. And of course, it wouldn’t be Nerd Nite without drinks!
