Look what's back for 2017, Hackference

Originally published on medium.com

It seems I should apologise, a few months ago I wrote a post about 2016 being the last Hackference. And I’m glad to say I was very wrong!

I’d like to announce that Hackference will once again be taking place in 2017 in its usual format of a single-day conference with a full weekend hackathon. And even better it’s being done with the support and management of Matthew Revell, the owner of Hoopy.io and the mind behind DevRelCon and a bunch of other events.

So what can you look forward to this year. As always you can expect some excellent speakers giving a variety of talks on subjects as yet unknown! If you’ve got topics you’d like to hear about either comment this post or add them to https://twitter.com/ukmadlz/status/833689847340621824. You can also expect some fun things outside of the talks. And during the weekend you will get the hackathon that is loved across the land, with lots of things to play with and a fun atmosphere to experiment with different technologies!

With that in mind, remember to save the date in your calendar October 20th — 22nd and head over to https://2017.hackference.co.uk/ to pick an early ticket. If you’re thinking of speaking, you should head over to https://www.papercall.io/hackference-2017 to enter any talks you’d like to give.

If you would like to sponsor and get your company in front of some amazing technologist feel free to reach out to [email protected] or [email protected] to make enquiries.

Also, it looks like the joke of this being the last Hackference ever may live on to haunt me.

Or am I?

See you all in October,
Mike
