An overview of Geeky Weekend, a project to support the developer community in Ho Chi Minh City.

1. Connect developers
Build communities
Create opportunities

2. 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

3. 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

4. GEEKY WEEKEND
THE 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

5. We held weekly gatherings with
the same settings & at the same
space to assure consistency and
build a sense of belonging in
the members.
CONSISTENT
COMMUNITY DRIVEN
ENGAGING
SHARING DRIVEN
We help connect within and
across many communities &
encourage tech companies to
engage with tech communities.
All activities are organized by
tech communities for tech
communities
We believe that everyone can
share their experience and
promote sharing of knowledge
as well as opportunities.
