Geeky Weekend is a proposed weekly event to bring together developers, product builders, and tech communities offline to foster knowledge sharing and opportunities. It would provide a dedicated physical space for various tech communities to meet, learn, and work together. The full-day Saturday events would include training, sharing sessions, working spaces, and recreational activities organized around a weekly theme. The goal is to address the lack of regular offline gatherings and help curate opportunities by featuring job postings, hackathons, and sponsor involvement. An initial soft launch is planned for August to September with confirmed participation from local meetup groups.
