There’s a LOT going on in the Pacific Northwest this weekend. Aside from Crypticon (where I’ll be spending my weekend), folks looking for fun have options! Everything from the Comic Art Festival and PolyglotConf in Vancouver to a smorgasbord of geek culture at Wonder Northwest in Portland.
Take a peek at our picks from the GeekWire Calendar.
Women’s Career at Seattle Tech Startups : TONIGHT 6pm. CodeChix Seattle and Digital Eve Seattle host a night of discussions and panels with women currently working in tech here in Seattle. This is the perfect opportunity to ask the questions you’ve always wanted to.
Wonder Northwest: Portland: Saturday, 5/25 – Sunday, 5/26 All day. Sounds like Wonder Northwest runs the geek gamut from super heroes to pirates, film enthusiasts to gamers. Comics, videogames and toys! Everything “geek” can be found here.
Vancouver Comic Art Festival: Saturday, 5/25 – Sunday, 5/26. All day. This is a FREE comic art festival – no admission! So you can save your cash for all the loads of awesome, independent art you’ll certainly want to purchase. This is a breath of fresh air amidst the overly-commercialized comic conventions out there.
PolyglotConf 2013: Vancouver: Friday, 5/24 – Sunday, 5/26 All day. An alternative software development “un-conference” for developers that might have a different outlook, background, or opinion from the mainstream.
