The largest free tech event in the Spanish-speaking world
Nerdearla es el evento gratuito de tecnología, ciencia y cultura nerd más grande de hispanoamérica. Fundado en 2014 por Sysarmy, lo que comenzó como un encuentro de ~60 personas se ha convertido en un festival de alcance internacional con ediciones presenciales en Argentina, Chile, México y España, y participación online de más de 50.000 personas por año.
Each edition brings together over 200 world-class speakers — from computing pioneers like Donald Knuth and Ken Thompson to CTOs of the world's largest tech companies — in a 100% free format that includes talks, workshops, networking and coworking spaces.
In 2023, Nerdearla was declared of Cultural Interest by Argentina's Ministry of Culture.
