What is Chic Meets Geek?
It's an event that challenges attendees with thought-provoking ideas and situations by presenting different communities to inspire, share & connect.  It's where tech conference meets red carpet meets charity fundraiser. It's a power networking event for the extroverts to the wallflowers.


What to Expect at this 5 Hour Event?
Imagine an event that combines a tech conference, red carpet gala, & charity fundraiser in one evening.  It's an event that does good, inspires, and saves time.  Distinct elements are taken from each of these three events and are condensed in under 5 hours.

1) Tech Conference - Panel of influential celebrity leaders in the Seattle community that represent either the cultural chic or intellectual geek. Tech & chic companies demo their products in the exhibit booths.  Past speakers included Founder of Guitar Hero (Kai Huang), Founder of WordPress (Matt Mullenweg), Marketing of Facebook, (Randi Zuckerberg), Founder of Serena & Lily (Lily Kanter), NFL Football Player from Dallas Cowboys (Damon Dunn), Miss California Candidate 2010 (Annette Jordan), World-Renown Ballerina (Maria Kochetkova), Reality Show Top Chef Las Vegas (Mattin Noblia), etc

2) Red Carpet - The elegance of red carpet glamour, which includes all-you-can eat and drink, "opportunity" to dress in chic black tie/gown/cocktail attire, and goodie bags.
  • Are you chic?  Dress up in black-tie/gown/cocktail attire. 
  • Are you a geek?  Dress up in your best geek attire.
  • This is Chic Meets Geek.  Dress the part.  Black Tie Meets Geek Attire.  (See Photos from other ChicMeetsGeek events:  http://ow.ly/2jHrZ)
3) Non-Profit - The non-profit beneficiaries receiving proceeds from the event are Jolkona Foundation & Washington Cash
4) Entertainment - Be entertained by the cultural chic and intellectual geeks as they perform! Past entertaimnent consisted of ESPN World Champion Salsa Dancers, a fashion show displaying Project Runway designer Jay Nicolas Sario, etc.
5) All-You-Can-Eat & Drink - Yes, you read that correctly!  Past chefs included a former Executive Chef who cooked for the former President George W. Bush and Justice Clarence Thomas.
Still Unsure?
  • It's a unique opportunity to meet individuals you would not normally meet in your circle.
  • It's a power networking event for the extroverts to the wallflowers.  All of this is under one roof in under 5 hours.  You will experience everything you would receive from a day conference, a red carpet gala, and a nonprofit fundraiser. 
  • Chic Meets Geek is a "user experience."  You have to attend to experience it.

    ChicMeetsGeek™

    ChicMeetsGeek™ is an event designed to bridge the social gap between the cultural chic and intellectual geeks. It is similar to a conference, but with a social atmosphere.

    The purpose is to gather two different groups in one room to inspire, share, and connect through a panel of geek and chic celebrity speakers to talk about their inspirational background.

    A nonprofit beneficiary is highlighted at every ChicMeetsGeek™ event and themed around the speaker panelists' expertise to bridge the gap.
