Full Nerdity Bingo with Aria Reddy
Calling all hot nerds! Do you have strong opinions about Star Wars? Can you name a Disney movie in three notes? Have you ever yelled "THAT'S NOT CANON!" in public? Congratulations — you've found your people.
Full Nerdity Bingo is bingo for anyone who knows way too much about TV, movies, superheroes, fantasy, sci-fi, and all the beautifully useless pop-culture trivia living rent-free in your brain since 1998. Hosted by Aria Reddy — because if she's going to scream "BINGO!" she's doing it in six-inch heels and enough rhinestones to blind a Jedi.
Bingo: 7:30 PM
19+ event
Win prizes. Sip cocktails. Laugh at your friends.
Proudly admit you've seen The Devil Wears Prada 47 times. This is a safe space — no shame, only nerds.

20-minute presentation + live Q&A. Leave with practical takeaways you can apply to your own R&D activities.
