Who are the 'Geeks'?
GeeksOnaPlane (GOAP) was founded by Dave McClure in early 2009. Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs and investors travel around the world and immerse themselves in technology cultures in other countries.
The Geeks take the opportunity to meet with, learn from and share the secrets of innovation with likeminded Geeks globally. GOAP has now grown into a global network and they have travelled to cities such as Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris and Prague.
We’re really excited as they’ve chosen New Zealand as their next destination. More info at http://geeksonaplane.com/ |
