“I've done over 7 geeks trips in the past decade, 5 times as a participant and twice as a co-host, and it was life-changing. I've build a powerful network of clients for my first business, raised funding from the group for my second company, and also found many mentors and a board member from the trips. But most importantly, I now have great friends all around the world and attended the wedding of a fellow geek in Italy last year whom I've met 7 years ago on the trip."
