We’ll be inviting 200-300 developers to attend this FREE event, which will begin with hack-related presentations from some of the Web’s most respected developers. We’ll then dive into 24 hours of hacking on a very nice collection of tools, APIs, and data, and end with awards from the sponsors plus bragging rights until the end of eternity or the next Hack Day, whichever comes first.

Naturally, we plan to provide physical and mental sustenance throughout the event.

If you’d like to be considered for participation please let us know now. Due to the limited size of the venue, we will be reviewing applications for attendance and giving preference to those we believe will best be able to contribute to the development of a hack at the event. You could be hacking individually or in groups but do sign-up individually.
