geekSessions is a high-end networking event that brings recognized experts from the web space together to speak on a new topic each month. Topics range from deeply technical to business related and are geared to be relevant to executives, technical leaders, and contributors in the Web 2.0 and startup markets.

The geekSessions Team

Shon, Cindy, and Christian - Teh Hotness!

Christian Perry
Co-Producer - cperry [at] geeksessions [dot] com
Having moved to the Bay Area less than a year ago, Christian compensates for his lack of marketable skills by throwing events for fellow geeks. He’s the founder and producer of SF Beta, San Francisco’s largest Web 2.0 mixer, and runs ZapTix, a nationwide ticketing service for venues and event organizers. Christian makes appearances at just about every tech event in the city, and he swears he’ll relaunch his blog at some point.

Shon Burton
Co-Producer - shon [at] geeksessions [dot] com
Shon is Co-Founder and CEO of The Forbin Group—a high-tech consulting and recruiting firm specializing in Web 2.0. After attending the many tech events in the Bay Area, Shon wanted to see a new kind of event—something more in-depth and more nurturing to his inner geek. After sharing his ideas with Christian over a cup of uber-strong coffee one day, *Poof!* geekSessions was born.

Cindy Burton
Assistant Producer - cindy [at] geeksessions [dot] com
Cindy was recruited by Shon and Christian to help with the geekSessions effort. Geek gone biz— she heads up Business Development for The Forbin Group and is VP of Product Development at a pre-launch startup. Sheez in our web servurz, coding our pages and making them pritteh.
