Since 2008 has become more widely celebrated in the US.
Tim McEachern organized the unconnected events called Geek Pride Festival and/or Geek Pride Day from 1998 to 2000 in a bar in Albany, New York, which are sometimes seen as a prelude to Geek Pride Day.
In 2006 Spanish blogger Germán Martínez, known on the Internet as Señor Buebo, organized the first celebration, the day was celebrated for the first time in Spain and on the Internet, attracting the attention of the mainstream media. The largest gathering took place in Madrid, where 300 geeks demonstrated their pride together with a human pacman. A manifesto was created to celebrate the first geek pride day, which included a list of basic geek rights and responsibilities.
