List of hackathons in Highland Park, United States in 2019

This full-day live conference will transform your sales process and revenue flow NOW

The Chi Hack Night is a free, weekly event in Chicago to build, share and learn about civic tech and tools to create, support, or serve public good. Join us every Tuesday from 6-9:30pm on the 8th floor of the Merchandise Mart to hear from interesting speakers, learn from each other and work on civic projects. Non-techies are very welcome!RSVP before noon the day of the event is now required. Walk-ins will unfortunately not be allowed. What happens at a hack night? Every week, we have a 10-15 minute presentation by a government agency, non-profit, company or group who've made use of open data or built a civic technology application. The goal of these presentations is to showcase the different uses and opportunities, as well as challenges and successes in the civic technology movement. After the presentation, the format of the event is similar to that of a hackathon where breakout groups self-organize to work on civic apps, discuss policies and their implications, learn technical skills and network with a welcoming and diverse community at the intersection of technology and government.   But I'm not a techie! That's ok! We encourage non-technical folks to pair up and learn from our community's designers and developers. We've seen time and time again, the best civic projects come from teams with a diverse background. Remember, there's much more to making a great app than just coding.

NOTE:  Eventbrite recently changed their refund policy where they now keep processing fees on any refunds. We don't think that's fair and that's why we are not offering a refund option. We are happy to transfer your ticket to a co-worker should your plans change.   Overview DisruptHR Chicago is an information exchange designed to energize, inform and empower executives, business leaders, and professionals in the vast and important fields of Human Resources.

Hack & Tell is a hackathon that is actually a hackathon. There is no need for business models, customer validation, or extravagant pitches. The purpose of this hackathon is to hang out and team up with other developers and designers for the sake of making something. There will be time at the end of the event where you are free to show and tell everyone about the awesome thing that you built. You can build something for yourself or build something for other people. You can build something useful or build something not useful at all. The choice is all yours. All we want is for you to take this time and build something you've always wanted to build. You didn't even need to have any ideas of your own. There will be plenty of developers and ideas floating around that you can hack with. So are you going to come make cool things with us? Join other developers and designers for 8 hours of fun on Saturday, October 26th starting at 9am. This fall's event is sponsored by: Northwestern Mutual Ward4 For more info, go to http://www.rokkincat.com/hack-n-tell
