Looking For Nerdy Events Around JNUC?

The JAMF Nation User Conference (JNUC) is coming, from October 13th to 15th in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The JNUC always makes me think of all kinds of nerdy things to do. And Minneapolis is totally full of nerd culture events. So here’s some to consider (not including the Lync, Sharepoint and other not-very-mac-esque events):

• October 13th
  • Brush up on your public speaking with TECH Masters Twin Cities, a Toastmasters group for techs.
  • Mobile Twin Cities for all you iOS fans, or Twin Citizens
  • MacBrained JNUC Mini-Event: Macbrained Mini Event
  • Hot Dish Happy Hour isn’t geeky, but it’s oh, so very Minnesota (and it’s at Grumpy’s)
• October 14th
  • Build all the things! Open House at the Twin Cities Maker Weekly Gathering
  • BYOD (bring your own dodecahedron): Get ur D&D on at the Source Comics & Games
  • Any BNI Members looking to meetup with others
  • Transmission at club Jaeger (the name of the place says everything you need to know about it)
• October 15th
  • Twin Cities Mini’App’les Mac Consultants Special Interest Group at the Original Pancake House in Edina
  • Twin Cities Robotics Group at the Hack Factory
  • Get your Python on at PyMNtos (Twin Cities PUG)
  • Steve Jobs Film Screaming, a JNUC mini-event
  • If you feel too techno-nerdy and need to get your Magic on, check out the gathering at the Source in Roseville. If you forgot your cards, you can borrow a deck or 4 of mine…

There are more mini-events being added on the JNUC Mini-Event page on JAMF Nation all the time. Check that out at the Mini-Event page on JAMF Nation. There are lots of spots around town to host meetups and the such, if you’re after that. I posted a lot of breweries here (and a pedal pub if you’re feeling like getting serious about it all), but keep in mind if you’re looking for less alcohol and more quiet/professional stuffs, there’s a pretty deep set of Mac shops in the Twin Cities with spaces that might loan you some room, such as Code42.

And if you’re into Maker Spaces and the such, check out:

• My neighborhoods makerspace: http://nordeastmakers.com
• The Twin Cities Maker(space): http://www.tcmaker.org
• Improving civic tech with Open Twin Cities: http://opentwincities.org
• Get your lego on at Brinckmania (just make sure to call and see if they’ll let you in as they’re usually only open every other Saturday – but if you want to schedule a JNUC mini-event or something I could see them opening their doors)
