The Wifi
When organising a hackathon it’s all about the wifi, every minute counts! We battle tested it last year and didn't have any complaints. 💯
The Platforms
The Mentors
This is a call for experienced builders and wise teachers to join the fun, share their knowledge and apply to become a mentor during the hackathon to give in person and online support.
Crashing at PdZ
To help our cats make every minute count, hackers can crash overnight at the venue, on Friday and Saturday night.
This year, the Silent room will only be available as of 5pm post conference talks. No showers available at the venue, but convenient lockers are available in the basement, and can be used with a 2EUR coin.
The Food 😋
We will cover breakfast and lunch for all conference attendees and hackers. Last year we especially loved the coffee cart, the poffertjes and the indonesian skewers. What was your favorite?
