📍 DataVault Auckland – 11am to 2:30pm, Saturday October 18th


We’re back with another unmissable social meetup for our fellow techies, geeks, engineers, and curious sysadmins. Join the crew from Geekzone and Quic Broadband for a laid-back yet nerd-charged gathering inside the high-security fortress known as DataVault - one of Auckland’s most trusted datacentre facilities.



🧠 What’s happening?


  • 🤝 Catch up with fellow community legends (and probably some folks you’ve argued with online)
  • 🛰️ Tour the DataVault data halls - because who doesn’t want to see where the internet lives?
  • 🍕 Food & drinks supplied - just not in any of the data halls, we don't want to kick anyone out!



🔒 Datacentre rules (aka, how not to get yeeted at the door):


  • ✅ Fully enclosed shoes only - no jandals, no bare feet, no exceptions
  • ❌ No food or drink inside the data halls
  • 📜 Acceptance of DataVault’s conditions of entry (house rules) below is mandatory - read ’em or be denied entry faster than a packet drop on CG-NAT



🗓️ WHEN?


Saturday October 18th

11:00am – 2:30pm


Capacity is limited, so RSVP early unless you want to watch everyone else have fun.


This is a community-first event - bring your best stories, your nerdiest questions, and your most obscure RFCs. Whether you’re a Geekzone OG, a Quic Discord shitposter, or just here for the aircon and cabling - we can’t wait to see you.


🧡 Brought to you by Quic Broadband - The telco who puts you in charge.

🔧 In partnership with Geekzone - New Zealand's technology community

📜 House Rules (a.k.a. “Don’t Be That Guy”)

By registering for this event, you’re agreeing to the following DataVault commandments - break them, and you’ll be shown the firewall faster than a UDP flood on port 53:

✅ You must:
• Keep the place looking cleaner than your desk at home
• Let staff know immediately if something’s up - weird noises, sparks, or rogue patch cables
• Be chill and respectful if any behind-the-scenes work is happening
• Stay with your guide - no solo missions into the server jungle
• Rock your visitor badge at all times - it’s your +1 for the day
• Follow all instructions from DataVault, Vetta, or Quic crew - yes, even if you think you know better 😉

🚫 You must not:
• Eat or drink inside the data halls - snacks and switches don’t mix
• Leave rubbish behind - this isn’t a LAN party in 2004
• Bring your plus-one, plus-two, or mystery mate - pre-approved guests only
• Pop open racks or wander into rooms unless someone from DataVault, Vetta, or Quic gives you the green light

🔐 DataVault, Vetta, and Quic reserve the right to revoke access at any time, no explanation required - so be cool, follow the vibe, and let’s keep it a good time for everyone.
