Wow, just wow. We’ve been amazed at the interest and excitement in the build up to Hackagong. As of writing, we’ve sold 130 tickets, and expecting quite a few more on the day. The UOW uniCentre (mighty entrance pictured above) is all setup with ample tables, piles of beanbags and “godly amounts of bandwidth”, as one person described the 703Mbps down Internet speed test today.
Agenda details for the morning:
9am – Doors open. Registrations at the door. Find a spot to setup your gear. Networking, pastries and coffee. Organisers will help out those looking for team members.
10am – Official welcome and housekeeping
10:30am – Fire up the laptops and GOGOGO, Hackagong has begun!
The rest of the weekend’s program is available on this website and we’ll be giving each team a printout with the details.
Where: Level 2, Building 11, uniCentre Building @ University of Wollongong

Can I buy a ticket at the door?
Yep, definitely!
What if I don’t have a team?
We understand it can be daunting turning up to a hackathon without a team, but don’t worry, just let us know at the registration desk and the organisers will help you to find team members.
