Once you follow the link and submit the form, you'll be on our mailing list to get all the information about IC Hack '16, piping hot off the press. All details regarding ticket release will be made through the mailing list.
Remember that due to the expected high demand, joining our mailing list doesn't guarantee a ticket!
A hackathon is what happens when you take a group of wonderful, wonderful geeks, put them in a room, give them lots of food and Red Bull and tell them they have 24 hours to create... something. The results range from cool, interesting, nuts, useful, useless or funny all the way to absolutely awe-inspiring. Most importantly it's a chance for geeks to enjoy themselves and learn new things!
^ no, this is not a bomb
The event is open to all students over the age of 18 - undergraduates, graduates, PhDs, etc.
You don't have to be a computer scientist or an engineering student. All that we ask is you consider yourself a developer and love programming! You can come with a team, hack alone, or come looking for a group and we'll make sure you find some awesome teammates.
Unfortunately, due to venue and legal constraints, we cannot host under-18s. We hate to exclude anyone from hacking, but we can point you towards our partner Major League Hacking and the awesome folks at Young Rewired State who both help organise a number of hackathons supporting under-18s.
We will be checking government-issued identification on the door for proof of age.
It will be at GoCardless' Office in Angel.
338-346 Goswell Rd, London, EC1V 7LQ.
Everything is free! Our wonderful sponsors are providing the location, funding the food, and preparing terrific prizes!
Sleep? Ha, that's cute.
We will be holding intro sessions on Friday, start forming teams and get in the mood! The hackathon itself will kick off on Saturday and will be held over roughly 24 hours. Some will hack through the night, others will get a good night sleep.
There'll also be a few side-activities to take part in! Usually we sprinkle a few video game and movie hours, for those times when you just want to take a cheeky break!
Finally on Sunday, teams will present their demos and judges will award prizes.
You are welcome to bring in past hacks and pre-formed teams. However, bear in mind that we reserve the right to take you out of the prize competition, to preserve fairness.
This is entirely up to you, however we recommend teams of up to 5 people as coordination can be time-consuming. Be aware some of our sponsors limit the number of prizes they offer.
We ask that all attendees abide by the MLH Code of Conduct.
Any sponsors, attendees or organisers acting out of line with the Code of Conduct will be ejected from the event.
Glad you like it! All you have to do is submit the form available from here!
Make sure to read everything carefully before submitting.
Not to worry! We're always here to help, so simply fire us an email at info@ichack.org.
