- August 5th – Global Monday for geek culture around the world.
- August 6th – Braniac Tuesday for science, education & knowledge.
- August 7th – Super Wednesday for superheroes, the supernatural and the super-weird.
- August 8th – Gaming Thursday for live plays, games in real life, game series and more.
- August 9th – Fan Friday for fan boys and girls everywhere.
- August 10th – Best of Geek Week Saturday
