Nerd Nite Colorado Springs

<a href="http://<!– wp:html –> https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1987468805699?aff=oddtdtcreator Friday, June 12th | Ivywild School| Doors open at 6 pm| $10 online, $20 at the door

After a hiatus, Nerd Nite is returning to Colorado Springs — and we think this city has been ready for it.

For the uninitiated: Nerd Nite is a global event series where smart, curious people gather to hear short, engaging talks on topics they probably didn’t expect to care about. It happens in hundreds of cities around the world. And now it’s ours again.

Jennie sat down with Loving Living Local to talk about why she’s bringing Nerd Nite back to Colorado Springs and what she thinks this city is actually craving.

Here’s what’s happening Friday night:

Your Host: Jennie Agin Why Nerd Nite, Why Now, Why Colorado Springs

Jennie will open the night with a little history. We’ll discuss where Nerd Nite came from, why she’s bringing it back, and what she thinks Colorado Springs is hungry for when it comes to connection, community, and real conversation.

Alison Christofferson Creativity + Communication

What kind of creative are you…and does it affect how you talk to the people around you? Alison breaks down different creativity types and offers practical ways to have better conversations about creative work, collaboration, and the ideas that matter to you.

Calvin Pinsuwan Survival of the Laziest: How an Ignored Game Idea Survived and Dominated

Calvin’s talk is about natural selection. And video games. And he’s presenting it inside a video game. Need we say more?

Plus Q&A after each talk, trivia, a bar in the back of the gym, and plenty of time to meet the kind of people who show up to things like this. Save $10 when you buy online. That’s basically a free drink. Just saying.

Join us at Ivywild on Friday, June 12 at 7pm for a night of short, engaging talks, good drinks, and even better conversation.

If you’ve never been, Nerd Nite is all about bringing curious people together to learn something new in a fun, low-pressure environment. Expect a mix of fascinating topics, a few laughs, and the kind of conversations you don’t usually get on a night out.

Come solo or bring a friend. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy:

• short talks on interesting, unexpected topics
• a relaxed, social atmosphere 🍻
• a chance to meet thoughtful, curious people

Featuring talks on creativity, communication, and human behavior– with more to be announced.
