GCUG 23rd Annual Geek Holiday Party will be celebrating National Pi Day on 3/15 6PM-9PM at Cendyn Spaces in Boca Raton, Fl
For more info contact Maureen Homnick mo@homnick.com
For our 23rd annual Holiday Party we couldn’t think of a better Geek holiday to celebrate than National Pi Day, even if it will be on the 15th and not the 14th. Pi Day was recognized as a National Holiday due to the work of long time GCUG enthusiast, Jonathon Zuck, now President of ACT The App Association, back in 2009.
The venue is set and Cendyn Spaces (thanks Davey No) in Boca Raton won over Silver Ball Museum in Delray Beach. Sherv is once again in charge of the bar and is promising a wide selection of beers and wines along with specialty cocktails. Paul put the menu together with items like Truffle Antipasto Skewers, Tempura Shrimp and Lobster Mac n Cheese. Start time is 6pm and theme this year is St Paddy Day Geek, so get out your St Pats gear and Geek it up!
Back for some killer Futuristic User Interface presentations are our usual suspects of speakers Tim Huckaby (12th appearance) and Billy Hollis (4th appearance). Look for a lot of Cognitive API interfaces that will aide future UI’s.
