Transcript of Geeky Weekend - Building tech community in Saigon
THE PROBLEM
We lack good offline space for - developers to meet and hang out with each other - tech communities to organize activities for their members
THE PROBLEM
There is not yet an engaging platform for - tech companies to connect with tech communities - different tech communities to interact with each other
GEEKY WEEKENDTHE SOLUTION
A weekly offline space for tech communities and developers, in order to:
•Foster bonding within and across many tech communities •Encourage sharing of knowledge •Connect tech communities and companies •Help bring and create opportunities
We held weekly gatherings with the same settings & at the same space to assure consistency and build a sense of belonging in the members.
