Last updated 1 year ago

Schedules can definitely change, but it’s good for participants (and organizers) to know what to expect. Please, send us your schedule and we can help ensure it’s realistic.

Take a look at example schedules to see what makes the most sense for you. Our , will help you create a full and complete event schedule.

Decide whether to do a 24 -hour or 36-hour hackathon. Then take a look at example schedules to see what makes the most sense for you.

All schedules include:

  • Keynote opening speech

  • Expo activities where sponsors can demo their apis/have a career fair/network with hackers (2 to 3 hour window)

  • Hacking

  • Meals and snacks

  • Activities (past examples: laser tag, cup stacking competition)

  • Judging - If you have multiple judging phases, be sure to block out enough time for each of them with some buffer time in between
