A Hyperledger Hackfest runs in an Unconference format (allowing people to suggest topics/sessions in advance), but also allowing for organic discussions and groups to form over two days. If you have any questions, please email events@hyperledger.org.

Who Attends?

• Anyone ​is ​welcome ​to ​attend ​and ​participate ​no ​matter ​what ​their ​skill ​level, ​though ​the ​discussions ​will ​presume ​a ​significant ​familiarity ​with ​blockchain ​technologies ​and ​software ​development ​concepts.

Primary Goal of a Hackfest

• ​Facilitate ​software ​development ​collaboration ​and ​knowledge ​sharing ​between ​participants, ​with ​an ​eye ​towards ​reflecting ​all ​ideas ​and ​conclusions ​back ​outward ​to ​the ​public ​open ​source ​community ​afterwards.

Secondary Goal of a Hackfest

• To bring ​new ​contributors ​and ​passive ​observers ​up ​the ​learning ​curve ​on ​the ​different ​technology ​platforms, ​and ​the ​cross-cutting ​issues ​affecting ​multiple ​projects ​(such ​as ​identity, ​security, ​development ​process, ​etc).
