On February 4, 2010, ChicMeetsGeek hits San Francisco with a mission. This time, the event will be benefitting BUILD – a nonprofit venture that emphasizes entrepreneurship to underprivileged high schoolers.
The event will be held at the Automattic Lounge at Pier 38 – home of WordPress – and will backdrop the same air of elegance and entrepreneurship as the first ChicMeetsGeek last November. This time around, celebrity panelists from the San Francisco arts scene as well as the tech sphere will highlight their own hidden chic and geek talents.
Speakers include:
Kai Huang – Founder of Guitar Hero
Sumaya Kazi – Founder of The CulturalConnect
Dave McClure – Venture Capitalist/Investor at the Founder’s Fund
Jessica Mah – Founder of Indinero
Annette Jordan – Miss California Pageant Candidate 2010
Tim Galida – Keyboard & Singer of the Pop Rocks
Steve Wharton – Actor on NBC’s Trauma TV Show
The goal of ChicMeetsGeek is to build bridges that further strengthen San Francisco’s position as a hub for innovation and sophistication. The event will include live jazz music and an open bar, as well as decadent 5-star catering, a unique Geek vs. Chic makeover show, and tech demos from local companies. To top it off, the evening is complete with a silent auction where guests can bid on one-on-one time or services with reputable individuals from around the SF social scene. Most importantly, all proceeds from the auction will benefit BUILD.
The evening promises to be a dazzling affair fit for our SF culture. If you don’t believe me, come see for yourself! Here are a few special discount codes for our Girls in Tech members (there are only a few of each, so get them while they’re hot):
