Hey everyone! We’re ramping hard into Nerd Expo coming this October to Westerner Park !!

We are in the process of printing posters, updating the website and slamming a few new marketing campaigns.

Would you or your buisness hang up a poster or let me put some marketing items in your places work, business, community centres?

Please let me know I’ll get something over!

📸 TWO PHOTOSPACES ARE ALREADY SPOKEN FOR! 📸

This idea is officially starting to come to life, and I’m really excited to see what our community creates.

For Nerd Expo this October, we’re offering a small number of complimentary Community PhotoSpaces to local non-profits and community organizations.

The idea is simple:

Create a fun, eye-catching photo backdrop or display that represents your organization, your mission, your creativity, or just something wonderfully nerdy that people will want to stop and take a picture with.

You set it up before the show.
We showcase it all weekend.
You take it down afterward.

That means less volunteer commitment, no booth fee, and exposure throughout the entire weekend.

And now...

🎉 2 of our PhotoSpaces are already spoken for!

We’re planning for approximately 4–6 PhotoSpaces total, so there are still a few opportunities available for organizations with a great idea.

Your space can include things like:

📸 A custom photo backdrop
🎨 Artwork created by your group
🌈 A themed environment
🦸 Props or photo cut-outs
📱 Your logo, QR code and organization information
✨ Something completely different that we haven’t thought of yet!

We want these spaces to become little destinations throughout Nerd Expo where attendees stop, pose, take pictures and discover some of the amazing organizations doing work in our community.

Have an idea?

📧 Email [email protected]
Use “PhotoSpaces” in the subject line and tell us a little about your organization and what you’d like to create.
