History
Nerd Nite Reno is local chapter of Nerd Nite, a collection of talk series around the world! Started in 2003 by Chris Balakrishnan in New York, Nerd Nite has now grown to over 100 cites across the world. More information about Nerd Nite in general can be found here. Anna Tatarko was first exposed to Nerd Nite while an undergraduate in Lawrence, Kansas. She was forever changed. She then brought this enthusiasm to Reno in 2019, where she founded Nerd Nite Reno. Since then, we’ve had a slew of Nerds help the event continue, including Anna and Chris, Nerd Nite Reno OGs, and Louis, Otis and Akhila.
Nerd Nite is held on the second Wednesday of every month at 7pm at the West Street Market in Reno, NV.
