Geek Markets aims to hold multiple events every year, one in Canberra and one in Southern NSW making this the region’s largest FREE event for popular culture. Here, fans of movies, series, games, cosplay and more meet to enjoy a unique atmosphere and have fun together.
Geek Markets is a indoor, market held across ACT and NSW. Geek Markets is a collection of curated, geek-themed markets held throughout the year in multiple cities. Created by geeks for geeks, Geek Markets is a showcase for….well, Geeks who create things! Geeks who draw things! Geeks who sell things! And geeks, it must be said, make the best things.
Geek Markets is thus a great way to reach a specific target group in a unique and effective way.
You can participate in Geek Markets in several different ways. For example, you can book a stand or sponsor an activity area, which is a great way to activate your brand and engage potential customers. We can also develop several sponsorship and advertising solutions where you can effectively communicate your message via our digital channels. We are open to ideas and are very happy to help you find the perfect solution.
