MLH Hackcon
Learn how to organize the best possible hackathon from your peers!
MLH Hackcon is an in-person conference that takes place each year in upstate New York and teaches organizers skills to build their communities and hackathons. With our schedule of discussions, lightning talks, and fun campground activities, you'll get to adopt best practices and expand your perspective on what hackathon planning looks like with teams from all around the world. Attending Hackcon with your organizing team is a great way to align your vision for your event and give you all a core memory to bond over.
The best part about Hackcon is that it's run by organizers, for organizers! Most of our talks come from organizers who want to share what they've learned from their experiences. If you have a topic you'd like to bring to Hackcon, our speaker applications are currently open until the end of April. Selected speakers are also reimbursed for their ticket.
MLH Hackcon is not free to attend, but we can help you make it a part of your budget or help you navigate potential resources to cover the cost. Check out this article written about attending Hackcon for free.
Our website, hackcon.mlh.io, has all the information you need to know about our next upcoming Hackcon! Hackcon 2025 will be held on August 22-24.
Here's a discount for $25 off your ticket as a thank you for reading guide.mlh.io!
