About Nerd Nite
Nerd Nite is an informal gathering at which nerds get together for nerdery of all sorts (well, mostly presentations and drinking). Nerds and non-nerds alike gather to meet, drink and learn something new. Each evening, two nerds will give short, fun presentations where they can nerd out about juggling, oysters, Star Trek, philosophy, string theory, Aztec mythology, or some similarly nerdilicious topic. While they talk, you drink, thereby increasing their wittiness, and your IQ.🔗 Learn more about the Nerd Nite Memphis event here.
Whether you’re new to the group or a regular face, we’d love to see you there!
