Currently happens in Auckland and Wellington and Hamilton. A few other cities have previously held it.

The concept is basically a bunch of IT people go out and get a curry dinner. At the end of the night the bill is divided evenly between all attendees.

GeekLunchOnWednesdays was a similar concept, but lower maintenance.
