Event Details

The Hawaii Geek Meet is a fun, casual, family-friendly, grassroots gathering for people who are curious and have a passion that they love to share. And we use a very inclusive, positive definition of the word “geek.” Gadget lovers, coders, designers, makers, artists… and you!
When the first Hawaii Geek Meet was held, local tech events were few and far between, and most were conventional conferences and meetings in hotel ballrooms and classrooms. Gatherings were usually all business, meant only for grown ups. As geeks in Hawaii, and as geeky parents, we knew we could do more.
Inspired by the Maker Faire, which had just been held for the first time in San Francisco, we envisioned an open, outdoor, family-friendly celebration of science, technology, and creativity.
Everyone is a geek about something, and the Hawaii Geek Meet brings together people of all kinds. Our definition of success is a fun, inclusive event where passionate people with unique talents, skills, and interests can come together to share their stories, learn new things, and collaborate to create something new.
