Geekcon was founded in 2005 when many of us decided that we need to focus on the geekier and dirtier side of technology. Soon after, we had the first Geekcon with 80 participants spending 36 hours (some with no sleep) building, discussing and creating whatever came to our minds. Since then, Geekcon has developed into a 3 day (Thursday to Saturday) format where sprinkling of artists, hackers, designers, makers and code monkeys come together once a year for a weekend of technical creativity. What’s now known as the maker movement around the world.
