We are just a small group of people that like to share knowlodge about subjects directly or indirectly related with technology.

What makes us different from the others? Hm nothing... And to be honest that's not the goal.

Our goals?

Create network(s) of people(s); share knowledge that can/may/could help to improve ourselves or our companies or our communities or even the world (hmm hmm hmm); show that IT (such a buzzz word) is not just lines of code, coffee, cigars, internet and robots; learn new things; and finally have a fun, nice, good and relaxing time.

How this works?

As said before nothing special (you will found a lot of places doing this) and it can work in two modes: remote or in-person.

Remote mode: is more or less a simple and informal "live podcast" where we invite a guest to talk about a specific subject and after that there's a debate/discussion/question if the audience is willing to participate of course (nothing is mandatory, people are free and motivated to do so) :)

In-person events: the structure is similar to remote but there's an advantage... we provide pizza, beer, bananas, peanut butter and that goodies that you like so much :P

How did this starts?

Start in 2018, in a small company, in a small city - Leiria, Portugal - because it was missing a "safe" place for the tech geeks to share their knowledge, frustrations, problems, etc...

We start by doing the regular "meet ups" (it's a brand so word needs to be split) but after two years, pandemic appear and... we had to change the game. In the end, turns out to be good because we could reach more people in a more confortable way.

Remote sessions start as "Geek sessions" and as an internal project - if you want check more in here - but since this name is broadly used by a lot of people/groups/companies we decided to changed to Crowing Sessions, in "homage" to the symbol of Leiria city, and because the crow is also a representation of vision and wisdom.
