About
Nerd Nite is an informal-style gathering for socializing, presentations & demonstrations, pub quizzes, and of course, drinks. Anyone can be nerdy about anything, and the proof is in the Nerd Nite pudding. Born in Boston in 2003, this global phenomenon has spread to over 90 cities large and small; the Amsterdam branch started up in 2011. No lengthy colloquia here, but passionate, bite-size orations about fascinating and bizarre topics that you didn’t know you should know about.
In Amsterdam, we gather every other month to enjoy two 20 minute talks by fellow nerds. These talks are sandwiched amidst drinks and a pub quiz-type event, with a DJ to keep the party going after the official nerdery has ceased. We’re grateful to our sponsor and host, CREA, who ensure that admission is free to get your bi-monthly nerd fix. Keep an eye on the righthand sidebar to see when the next Nerd Nite Amsterdam is. All talks are in English. Be there and be square!
We are constantly looking for enthusiastic new speakers. If you want to be one yourself or if you know a nerd who would make a good speaker, let us know.
