Conventions for techies/nerds?

Patrizsche@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 24 points –

What are some conventions (in the likes of ComicCon) for techies/nerds, computer/data folks? Maybe one that occurs in many cities, like ComicCon

Say you like programming or computers or Linux or data (SQL R Python PowerBI, whatever) or web or game development or even music/video editing? What are some of the conventions other than ComicCon that could be interesting?

Looking for any major events like ComicCon... if there are any

Defcon

Yes, but I think Defcon is mostly for cybersecurity. I think OP is looking for something a bit more generalized.

"Hacking" == learning / sharing how things work. Sometimes to break them. But regardless it's very relevant to op's interests.

Can confirm that hackers are nerds. The less they need hardware to hack, the scarier they are.

Like learning to keep all of your electronics away from public access.
