The meek continued to inherit the Earth last month as self-identified geeks and nerds networked and socialized at the Stamford Innovation Center in the historic Town Hall. More than 150 attended the June 26 event.

Promotional literature had a “Star Trek” theme, urging would-be attendees to “get their dance on” and “be there and be square.”

Norwalk-based Priceline.com was an event sponsor. Music was provided by The Parker Avenue Band and by DJ Ojala & DJ Raf. Cocktails, dining, dancing and games filled the bill.

Besides Priceline, sponsors included Sikorsky, Connect, Pitney Bowes and law firms Shipman & Goodwin L.L.P., McCarter & English and Robinson & Cole L.L.P.

Partners included The Stamford Tech Meet-Up, CoWork CT, CT Next and Connecticut Innovations.
