Geekdom is a new collaborative workspace in San Antonio where entrepreneurs, technologists, developers, makers and creatives help each other build businesses and other cool things together.

Nicholas will describe how Geekdom is a low cost and technology focused resource where members help each other with development, marketing or creative skills, one on one or through workshops. Volunteering to mentor and help one another 1 hour a week or to give a workshop once a month is a requirement of membership at Geekdom.
