A Geek Breakfast is a monthly community-driven meeting for local (and visiting) technology-minded people. Each month attendees congregate over bacon, eggs and plenty of coffee to discuss topics like social media, tech, design, geek culture, and ways to better their communities.

The first geek breakfast was held in December 2007 in Nashville, TN.

The Three Rules of Geek Breakfast (almost as easy as Fight Club)

1. Everyone is invited, attendance is free (excluding food, beverage and gratuity).

2. Pictures, audio and video should be licensed under Creative Commons and tagged using ?yourcitynamegeekbreakfast? and ?geekbreakfast?. Please add them to the Geek Breakfast Flickr Group.

3. Geek Breakfasts shall never be sponsored. If a company approaches you about sponsorship opportunities recommend they sponsor local unconferences instead, like a barcamp or podcamp. It?s important to note that if the breakfast gets sponsored you?ll wind up with many people turning up for a free meal, rather than being there to contribute to the conversation.

Would you like to start your own? Here?s how. Don?t forget to grab yourself a snazzy new logo too!
