Model okupljanja je preuzet od HackerNest-a i karakterističan je po tome što nije previše formalan tj. svodi se na upoznavanje, druženje i razmenu iskustava u radu. Postoji i vrlo kratak formalni deo kojim se započinje određena tema ili deli informacija o nekom bitnom događaju. Program 19:00 Okupljanje i upoznavanje 19:25 Uvod: ukratko o HackerNest-u (ko su organizatori, cilj okupljanja, gde se mogu dobiti dodatne informacije u vezi HN) 19:30 - 20:00 - Launching a startup, Mila Vukojevic 20:15 - 23:59 - Druženje, Truba bar Važno pravilo za druženje i tehničke razgovore No feigning surprise tj. "nema iščuđavanja" (uzeto odavde). Dakle, nema iščuđavanje ni po pitanju tehničkih stvari ("Ne mogu da verujem da ne znaš šta je stek" i slično) niti po pitanju netehničkih stvari ("Nisi čuo za RMS-a?"). Ideja je da IT ljudi od ovih sastanaka imaju korist tako što će da nauče nešto novo i da se osećaju prijatno pa samim tim ne treba da imaju nelagodnost kad treba da priznaju da za nešto nisu čuli ili da nisu sigurni šta je.
