Lincoln Hack is the only overnight hack day for the city of Lincoln. The basic idea is that we stick

100 people in a room, give them food, water and WIFI and see what fantastical things they can

create over the weekend.

Hack days are a great way of unleashing creativity of teams and learning new skills. Also the time

limited nature of the event means that you tend to focus on the task in hand and dive right in!

Companies are seeing the advantages of hack days internally by scheduling them regularly and

letting development + design teams work on new ideas that wouldn’t be possible within the usual

development schedule.

Lincoln Hack is a completely free event for anyone to attend.

Sponsoring a Hack Day can be a little different than sponsoring a normal event, our attendees are

a lot more technical and to get the best out of sponsorship we usually suggest that you supply an

API or some data for us to play with (and usually a developer or two to answer questions).

If you’re sending an API, we usually suggest setting a challenge with a prize. This prize has no set

budget, and does not have to be amazing; hack events I have attended have had everything from

pound shop specials to a holiday for two to Brussels and everyone enjoyed themselves.
