Early Bird: Rise and Shine!
Be one of the first 25 participants to check-in at the door on Saturday, December 2nd and receive an exclusive Google Home Mini on us!
Fresh code! Code in your favorite language and use the APIs and tools you prefer. In the spirit of a hackathon, only code written at the hackathon is eligible for prizes. See the official rules for details.
Do I need to integrate QuickBooks APIs into my hack? No, this hack is all about creating new innovations that help small businesses. You are welcome to use the QuickBooks APIs -- we’ll have plenty of staff on hand to help and we might even consider you for an extra prize if you do -- but it's not required.
How is the hack structured?
Doors open on Sat December 2nd at 09:00. We'll have opening talks and then it's time to start coding all the way thru till mid-day Sunday. Pitches to judges will start around 1:30 and continue till we’re done, followed by an awards ceremony and PRIZES!
Do you own my hack? Nope, that’s yours to keep -- and hopefully finish! See the official rules for details.
Should I plan to hack overnight?
You’ll have a constrained time to design, code, and test your amazing solution, so you might very well want to hack through the night. But if you need a sleep break or nap, no worries.
