What's a collective noun for a gathering of techies?

Depends on where you are, really.

Here is Gertrude's very selective and incomplete compilation of names - some delectable and some, more ceremonial - of developer meetings and conferences in technology companies and communities:

I/O in Google, or Atmosphere if you are invited to their CIO and IT chiefs' meet.
Chirp in Twitter
PDC Professional Developers Conference in Microsoft  or MIX  for web developers
F8 in Facebook
WWDC World Wide Developers Conference  - Apple rather formally
MAX in Adobe of Internet application developers
Disrupt in TechCrunch, occasionally.
DevStation - (not devastation as google might helpfully suggest) in Sony for PS3 developers
SATURN of architects in the SEI Architecture Technology User Network
ClueCon for Telephony and VoIP related techies
SugarCon in the context of SugarCRM's open source CRM software.
QCon when in a democratic community of developers
DevWeek  likely, of strong IT professionals
PASS Summit for Database-y people
StarEast for Software Tester People
GDC Game Developers Conference for video game developers
GreenNet for a merger of technology and climate change related thinkers
DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper  perhaps to reinforce a point!
