Hacklanta

"A weekend built at full volume."

Hacklanta is back October 9 to 11 in Atlanta.

For 36 hours, more than 1,000 college builders from across the United States will come together at Georgia State University to turn ideas into working projects.

Expect festival energy, ambitious builds, workshops, mentor hours, sponsor challenges, live recruiting opportunities, and a room full of people ready to make something real.

Whether this is your first hackathon or your tenth, there is a place for you. Apply solo and find teammates after acceptance, or bring a team of up to four people.

Hacklanta is free for accepted participants.

• A 36-hour, in-person building experience
• Four main competition tracks and additional sponsor challenges
• Workshops, panels, mentors, and technical support
• A live sponsor fair and planned on-site recruiting opportunities
• Festival-inspired programming, activities, and late-night energy
• Builders from colleges and universities across the country
