a weekend built at full volume
What is Hacklanta?
Hacklanta's back, and this one's bigger than the first. 36 hours straight, festival energy the whole way through: no breaks, no sleep, just building. Whatever your background or experience, there's a seat for you.
This time, sponsors are on the floor running a live sponsor fair, doing real interviews on the spot, the kind of thing that turns a weekend project into an actual opportunity. Expect real networking, real prizes, and a few weird challenges along the way. Seats are limited, so apply now.
