Meet Me In Kansas City : Geek/Tech Related Meetups
July 29th, 2008 by (jeff)isageek

Over the past few months I have been working on making it to local meetups here in the Kansas City area that fit interests I have in hopes of meeting kool new people, make contacts, and just have a good time.

I am happy to say so far I have been pretty successful and wanted to share will all my local readers.  If you have any other meetups you know of please feel free to contact me or leave a comment for myself and others with a link or any information on meetup places and times.

SocialMediaClub – KC Edition
So far we have had 2 meetings and right now it is in the early/planning stages but I have already met some new people and we have begun to start talking about future events with speakers and demonstrations.  If you have any interest in social media from user to content provider to developer make sure you check it out.

For more information on upcoming meetings, events, and links check out the wiki at socialmediakc.com

Kansas City Podcasters
This meetup is for podcasters as well as fans of podcasting or those wanting to get into podcasting.  I have been toying with the idea of doing one and have dabbled in it a bit but again just a fun group to get togather with and talk about whatever be it podcasting or something tech based.

Meetings usually take place on the 2nd Saturday of the month at Johnny’s Tavern on 119th street.

Geek Out Friday
Geek Out is the newest meetup I have been going to and it is pretty much just geeks getting togather and talking about whatever geek topic we want…could be web related, tech related, gaming, ect.  Pretty much just a place for geeks to hang out.

Takes place at Daily Dose at 135th and Quivera on Friday nights from 11ish to 2am (closing time).

Do you go to any of these?  What are your thoughts on them?  Have another meetup you would like to share with those in the kc area?  Feel free to add a comment to the discussion and let us know any details.

My main reason behind this post is to let those in the community know about different ways they can meet others with similar interests.

    Jeff, you might consider adding the three KC Core Groups -- all are sponsored by Adobe at a national level and TEKSystems at a local level (translation: Adobe schwag and local food!).

    www.kccoregroups.com

    Which leads you to the three Adobe groups centering on different interests -- KCDevCore for developers (CF, Flex, AIR); KCWebCore (Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, etc.); and KCDesignCore (all "visual design" Adobe tools). Each meets at JCCC once a month on different nights. Membership is free to anyone who junks out on Adobe technologies, or wants to!
  • hey there thanks for the info on the kccoregroups.

    There is another group in KC that is just for geeks. The Geek Culture Meetup. We get together a couple of times a month and do different things to try and meet the obsessions of geeks across the board. We have video game nights, movie nights, we go to gaming conventions and comic book conventions, movie openings, etc... It's a great group, a little something for all geeks.
  • oh that sounds kool. would love to find out some more info. feel free to email me jeffisageek@gmail.com

    Thanks!
