Every year Johannesburg Geeks get to join forces and celebrate at Geek Fest! Many moons ago I had an internet radio show on a station called EuroTrashMusic (RIP). It was before Tech Girl’s time. I interviewed the Dark Carnival crew and they mentioned this great idea they had for a festival. The idea was to recreate a Comic Con type vibe but with a uniquely South African flavour.
I always think back to that chat and am blown away that they ended up seeing it through and producing the incredible weekend that is now Geek Fest.
That’s right – Geek Fest 2016 will be an entire weekend!
I took Digit to Geek Fest 2014 when he was a teeny tiny puppy and it was the best experience:

The festival promises a host of fun stuff to do. There is incredible Cosplay, a second hand trading station, amazing stalls filled with Geek merchandise, doggy dress up parades and even Robowars. For a taste of what to expect, Marco shared this information with us about Geek Fest 2015. Tickets this year are only R100 or R150 for both days.
Geek Fest 2016 takes place on May 7 and May 8 at Inanda Country Base in Kyalami.
The best news? We have a set of tickets to give away to one lucky Tech Girl. Woohoo!
