Geekdinner.be was originally registered by Serge van Ginderachter. The initiative already existed under the name “ITPRO”, when there was no web 2.0 and computers that talked where something special.

The idea was born when this early IT-er wanted to meet new colleagues so he could exchange experience, share ideas and get some new insights from others. What other place would be better suited than a restaurant.

In the mean time, “geek” became a pop-word and there were already some “geekdinner” initiatives on the evil web. Geekdinner.be still was unregistered, so “ITPRO” got a new name, that reflected the original idea beautifully: bringing geeks together in a friendly atmosphere with some food and drink to share ideas and experiences.
