National Geographic & Nerd Night Party

For the 5th year in a row, National Geographic teams up with Nerd Nite for a free event during Comic-Con, taking visitors on an intergalactic journey through Earth and to Mars to celebrate NatGeo’s Mars.

Catch the event, complete with free food and drinks, as well as awesome science talks, on Friday, July 20, from 8-11pm at the rooftop terrace and pool at Hotel Solamar. The Nite will feature four funny-yet-smart presentations: former NASA astronaut Leland Melvin, JPL’s Bobak Ferdowsi (‘The Mohawk Guy’), JPL’s Emily Manor-Chapman, and Alejandro T. Rojas from Den of Geek.

RSVP here or here and there may be a stand-by line when the RSVP closes. You can also learn more about the monthly events at San Diego Nerd Nite.
