Important Note: This year's LVHack has been moved to April 6th-8th. Want to meet some incredibly interesting people? Push the limits of technology and yourself? Finally build something that's been bouncing around your head? Join us for this 2018 version of the Lehigh Valley's premier hackathon. What is #LVHack?  You supply the ideas, create teams, and bring a laptop. We'll supply a great venue, good food, and an incredibly fun time. If you’ve been to LVHack before, you know it’s a great event for stretching yourself, learning something new, and building relationships that extend far past the weekend. If you’ve not been to LVHack, this is a great opportunity to connect with the local tech community - don’t worry - we’re fun to be around. About LVHack LVHack is an open hackathon - anyone can attend, and there’s no established topic or challenge. Come with an idea - or come looking to find a good one - and build what you can during the event. And your idea doesn’t have to be software. Over the years we’ve had plenty of physical projects - and we don’t expect that to change. Pitch It, Hack It, Show It Anyone is welcome to pitch their project idea and receive feedback from their peers. Teams organically form around the top ideas and then it’s a 54 hour frenzy of designing, coding, and hacking. The weekend culminates with presentations and prizes! Fabulous Prizes and Great Food There are two things our hackathons are famous for: Prizes and Food. We know that you've probably gone to other hackathons and came away empty handed and feeling like you ate pizza all weekend. That doesn't happen at our hackathons. We gaurantee you won't be disappointed. If you don't believe us, listen to this LV Tech Radio Show Clip.

You'll love #LVHack A big thank you to Lehigh University for hosting us this year. It's a great new space, and once the HackClock starts - you won't want to leave. If you’re a student, have one of the faculty send us a note, and we’ll definitely explain why this is a valuable event, and you’re not just skipping a few classes. And if your company is interested in a unique off-site experience for your team, let us know, we’d love to have you.
