Your Dream Geek Tour: What Would it Be?
This blog is dedicated to all of those who absolutely must know how the magic happens! I have always loved visiting factories and command centers and any setting where big machines do their work either through brawn or “brain” (or both.) What would you like to see?
I would like to organize tours for inquisitive and geeky Montrealers like me. Let’s go behind the scenes and discuss the science and technology that make our city work and thrive. We are not your average tourists so we’ll request tours from chief engineers, architects and other geeks who live big tech on a daily basis and use big words! Our goal is to see the technology in action and understand how and why it was built that way and how it is maintained.
And don’t think that Montreal is our only option, think Vegas baby… Well, maybe this year we can concentrate on Montreal and as our cult grows star exploring the rest of Quebec and go beyond.
I have created a poll to ask you what type of place you would like to visit. These are very broad suggestions as I will select the first place to visit based on:
- Your interest in the type venue
- How receptive the venue is to welcoming geeks and tailoring a very technical presentation with appropriate professionals.
Remember our goal is to visit behind the scenes at seldom seen places with people who just about never give presentations so appropriate lead time must be given.
But if you care to be specific and want to offer your help (because you have contacts) please use the comments section.
Thanks!
