About the event
Find Your Inner Nerd Day began in 2022 thanks to Beth Ziesenis, a speaker and author who loves tech and quirky fun.
She created the day to give people a chance to share their true interests, especially the ones they might usually keep quiet.
Her goal was simple: make people feel proud of what they love, no matter how odd or specific it seems. Whether someone builds robots, collects comics, or obsesses over coding languages, the day makes space for all of it.
Beth�??s nickname, �??Your Nerdy Best Friend,�?� became the heart of the idea. Her background in making tech more friendly and fun helped her connect with people who once felt unsure about sharing what they love.
She chose August 23 for a special reason. Back in 2007, someone used the phrase �??find your inner nerd�?� in a tweet. Beth saw it as the perfect start. Over time, she built the day around that simple message.
