About GeekFest Toronto

cropped-GeekFest.jpg
GeekFest Toronto February 13-14, 2016

Geek Fest Toronto is everything Geeky and Nerdy in the form of Films, Documentaries, Speakers, and More.

Have you ever seen a a film that was DNA code set to music…? We have. Have you ever seen a documentary where puppets race radio controlled cars…? We have. Have you ever been on Reddit or hooked on Ingress. We have. We are.

So that’s what Geek Fest Toronto is all about. A celebration for people like us who know who we are and how neat it is to be either Geek or a Nerd.

We don’t need a porkpie hat, skinny jeans or a bushy beard to let the world know who we are. We just need the latest gadget, a cool game, a unusual topic and a movie we can relate to. And friends who relate to us.

So let’s see those Films and Documentaries.

 

 

Even our filler text is geeky
