We're building Australia's most comprehensive hackathon directory. Whether you're a first-time hacker or a seasoned builder, our goal is to connect you with the right events — from weekend sprints in Sydney to month-long online challenges.
We aggregate events from Eventbrite, Humanitix, Luma, and direct submissions so you never miss a hackathon happening near you.
Have a hackathon to list? Submit it here and we'll get it live within 24 hours.
