Over the next few weeks, The Nerd is the Word will be going through many changes. We are in full swing transitioning to become Ottawa’s one and only source of everything nerdy! We did some research (shocking!)… If you were to Google “Nerdy Ottawa” what do you think would pop up?
Well, here are the top 3 results!
           Â
While yes, these are all geeky events happening in Ottawa, they are all individual events! We at The Nerd is the Word want to help bring together the small community of Ottawa nerds into one place… our website! This is going to be a massive undertaking for the small group that we have so this transition will be starting right away and there is no exact timeline on how long it will take. We have started contacting local organizations, companies and event holders to help kick-start our transition by providing us with contacts, upcoming events and some background on Ottawa’s nerdy culture. We have only just begun and we are excited to see what the future brings to our website.
***Fun Fact: We have already partnered up with both Geek Markeet and Con Creative Ottawa Nerds!***
Our Goal
Ottawa has a great nerdy community, but it is all broken up into individual pieces. We want to take all these pieces and put them together to create one big nerdy community. Everyone is a nerd about something – let us help you find out what it is!
What to expect
You can expect to see more local Ottawa content appearing in the near future. We will also be aiming to update our event calendar on a regular basis, but we need your help! You can ADD AN EVENT to our calendar at any time! We are working on getting all of Ottawa’s nerdy events posted but we may miss a few from time to time.
We will still be posting our regular content – Nerdy Facts, Movies, Gaming and Comics all still play a major role in our lives and we have no intention of getting rid of them! We are also putting an effort into get more Indie material posted – things people may not of seen or heard of before!
We will be on the lookout for volunteers! There are plenty of events happening in the Ottawa area and there is no way that we will be able to go to them all… Interested in being a part of Ottawa’s latest and greatest source of everything nerdy?! Go to our CONTACT US page and send us an email!
Final Thoughts
There is a lot of work ahead of us, attending events, meeting a lot of new awesome nerdy people and learning about new nerdy things happening in the Ottawa area. With that said, we are BEYOND EXCITED to get started on this new project and we hope you are just as excited as we are! We can’t wait to find new and nerdy things about Ottawa and we hope that you want to be a part of it!
